The efficacy of intermittent pneumatic compression and negative pressure therapy on muscle function, soreness and serum indices of muscle damage: a randomized controlled trial

ConclusionsThe prescription of IPC and INP did not attenuate the reduction of markers to muscle function or pain perception up to 48  h after muscle damaging exercise. Future research should focus on the potential impact of treatment frequency and duration on muscle recovery.Trial registration The study was retrospectively registered in the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ANZCTR); The trial registration number: ACTRN12621001294842; date of registration: 24/09/2021.
