Turmeric and Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage and Oxinflammation
NCT04765527 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to measure the effect of using a turmeric-based supplement for 2-weeks on muscle damage and soreness that occur in the body after 90-minutes of exercise. Participants will first come to the human performance lab (HPL) for orientation and pre-study fitness tests including muscular fitness and body composition. Participants will be randomized to turmeric or placebo groups, and take 2 tablets of the supplements each day for the first two weeks. Participants will report back to the HPL on a Monday to engage in weight lifting and calisthenics for 90 minutes. Fitness tests (vertical jump, bench press, leg-back lift for strength, 30-second cycling sprint test) and blood samples will be given and collected before and after this exercise session. Participants will then come back to the HPL each morning, Tuesday through Friday, in the early morning to provide blood samples and retake the fitness tests. This study will entail seven HPL visits over a 3-week period.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04765527
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04765527 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 53 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Appalachian State University, which has 8 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Muscular Injury appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Placebo is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04765527 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include North Carolina. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
