Can a tiny needle boost your vertical jump?
NCT ID NCT07524647
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests whether a technique called ultrasound-guided percutaneous neuromodulation (a needle that electrically stimulates the femoral nerve) can improve vertical jump performance in healthy athletes. Twenty-nine athletes will either do plyometric training alone or combine it with the nerve stimulation. The goal is to see if the combo leads to higher jumps and better leg power.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
ultrasound-guided percutaneous neuromodulation (electrical stimulation via needle)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer athletes a new way to boost jump height and leg power.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (29 people) in healthy athletes, so results may not apply to others. The effect may be small or not last long.
