First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a weak electrical current applied to the neck or upper back can change how muscles work and how tired they get. Healthy adults aged 18 to 50 will attend up to 6 sessions to measure force, effort, and muscle signals. The goal is to understand the effects, not to treat any disease.
