Official title
Effect of Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation on Peripheral Blood Flow - a Pilot Study
Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation can affect blood flow in healthy volunteers. The main question it aims to answer is: Determine the stimulation parameters (frequency in the range 5- 100Hz and proximal or distal placement) inducing the most significant hyperaemic response in volunteers. Participants will attend to one visit ( 1h30) , 6 protocol of stimulation will be tested on his arm . If his agree, an optionnal measure will be made during another visit. During this optionnal visit, two modalities of intensity adjustment will be tested in regard of the result of the first part of the study.
Interventions
- Other transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation
transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on arm. 6 different protocol will be apply testing different modality of frequency and positionnement of electrodes
Primary outcome measures
- stimulation parameters that induce the most significant hyperaemic response [Time frame: from enrollment to the end of the procedure (1h30)]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Assess the score on a scale of disconfort level during stimulation for each condition [Time frame: during testing procedure]
- Compare stimulation intensities between each condition [Time frame: during testing procedure]
- Compare muscle metabolic demand between each condition [Time frame: during testing procedure]
