Acute Effects of Blood Flow Restriction Training to Failure on Hypoalgesia in Patients With Severe Knee Osteoarthritis Using Dynamic or Fixed Occlusion Pressure
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Low-intensity resistance exercise to failure with moderate arterial occlusion pressure and dynamic pressure.: A single quadriceps extension exercise at 30% of 1 repetition maximum (1RM) with dynamic occlusion at 50% of limb occlusion pressure (LOP). The exercise protocol will consist of 4 sets to muscle failure with 30 seconds of rest between sets and a continuous level of occlusion.

Study summary
This study aims to compare the acute effects on hypoalgesia of training to failure using blood flow restriction (BFR) with dynamic occlusion versus BFR with fixed occlusion in patients with severe gonarthrosis. Two different training conditions will be performed with varying levels of blood flow occlusion (%BFR) and percentage of load (%RM): 1) 30% RM and 50% BFR with dynamic pressure; 2) 30% RM and 50% BFR with fixed pressure. Each participant will complete two individual sessions under different training conditions, randomly assigned with a 72-hour interval between sessions.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Pain intensity at rest (Visual Analogue Scale, 0-10) — Periprocedural
Pain intensity perceived on a Visual Analogue Scale, at rest, being 0 no pain and 10 the worst pain imaginable.
