Post-surgery Muscle Preservation and Pain Reduction Through Blood Flow Restriction Training in Orthopedic Spinal Surgery
Post-surgery Muscle Preservation Through Blood Flow Restriction Training in Orthopedic Spinal Surgery
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 16 Oct 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This project investigates the effects of the Blood-Flow-Restriction (BFR) training method on postoperative muscle atrophy and pain after spinal surgery. Two groups are formed for this purpose. The intervention group receives a everyday BFR training during the postoperative stay at an individually measured occlusion pressure of 60-80%. The control group performs sham-BFR training at a fixed occlusion pressure of 20mmHg. The examinations are carried out before and several times after the operation (longest follow-up: 6 months). Among other things, muscle mass, muscle strength, pain perception and quality of life are assessed using questionnaires.
