Hello Dr. Patterson,
I am very interested in your study on BFR and its potential hypoalgesic effect. I find your research very fascinating and relevant to our future practice.😊
I am a physiotherapist in France and I use BFR in my practice. I would like to conduct a study on the effects of BFR AE on pain. This study is an initiation to research, I am new to the field but I am passionate about it.
I would like to perform a crossover study by putting my subjects in two conditions: Bike + BFR AE (80%LOP) and Bike + BFR AE Placébo. To simplify the realization of my scientific study my variable would be numeric rating scale…
