About this study

Official title: Vibration Mediated Dilation and Flow Mediated Dilation in Human Circulatory System

Application of vibration has been previously shown to affect tissue perfusion and utilized in different branches of medicine. Little is known about the acute impact of vibration application on peripheral artery hemodynamics. In this study, investigators intend to assess:

  1. vibration induced hemodynamic changes in brachial artery in non-diabetic patients and compare the characteristics of these alterations with flow mediated dilation mediated changes in same cohort.
  2. compare the characteristics of vibration mediated hemodynamic alterations in diabetic and non-diabetic subgroups.
Read the detailed description

Background and Rationale:

Vibration application has been previously shown to affect tissue perfusion and utilized in different branches of medicine. However, previous studies have mainly focused on the impact of vibration on skin perfusion or vibration with active muscle contractions, therefore couldn't truly demonstrate acute impact of local vibration application on peripheral arteries. In addition to that, as a population that is prone to develop vascular problems, it is not known whether diabetic patients have comparable response to vibration application with non-diabetic population.

Objectives:

In this study, investigators aim to demonstrate and compare hemodynamic alterations in brachial artery with paired measurements pre- and post- vibration application and compare the characteristics of these changes with those of flow-mediated dilation in a non-diabetic cohort. Additionally, differences and similarities in vascular hemodynamic response to vibration in diabetic and non-diabetic subgroups are intended to be elucidated.

Methods:

Flow mediated dilatation and vibration will be applied after the participants will abstain from alcohol, caffeine and nicotine for 24 hours. Flow mediated dilatation (FMD) will be induced via 5 min cuff inflation below left elbow at supra-systolic pressures (50mmHg above pre-application systolic pressure). Vibration will be applied with a commercially available vibration plate to forearm at 20 hz and 3 mm of vertical amplitude for 5 minutes, 30 minutes after termination of FMD. Left Brachial artery flow will be measured with pulsed Doppler and diameter will be measured via 2D ultrasonographic imaging at 0th, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th minutes.Throughout the entire application and measurement periods, patients will be continuously monitored with electrocardiogram.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Local Vibration Application Following Flow Mediated Dilation and Flow mediated dilation in people with Vasodilation and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Istanbul University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Brachial Artery Diameter (time frame: Up to 10 minutes after vibration application initiation). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05492071, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Mar 2023.
