The Effects of Cranial Laser Reflex Technique on Hamstring Flexibility, Strength, and Pain Pressure Threshold: a Pilot Study

University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill·interventional·Posted Feb 6, 2017·Updated Feb 12, 2019

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating CLRT for Hamstring Injury and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 44 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Purpose: To conduct a pilot study of the effect of Cranial Laser Reflex Technique (CLRT) compared with sham laser on hamstring muscle flexibility, strength, and pain pressure threshold. Participants: Active, young adults ages 18 to 35. Procedures: A two-visit, assessor and participant-blinded crossover study with 1-week washout. Subjects will complete three functional hamstring tests before and after CLRT and sham laser treatment. Subjects will also complete questionnaires to assess their expectations and perceptions of the interventions.
