Yeah, anything with an Arabic name = terrorist.
The clinical trial, which is set to open today, will study if growth hormone can safely improve recovery and help to prevent long-term osteoarthritis and knee joint weakness after an ACL tear.
"There is a large body of research on growth hormone, and our study will be the first of its kind to explore whether it may aid recovery from an ACL tear. We think that a brief treatment with growth hormone around the time of surgery will help to limit some of the otherwise irreversible loss in muscle mass and strength that occurs after these injuries," says principal investigator Christopher Mendias, Ph.D., ATC, assistant professor of Orthopaedic Surgery and Molecular & Integrative Physiology at the University of Michigan Medical School and MedSport researcher.
The study will be a two-year, double-blinded, placebo controlled trial. Neither the patients nor their doctors will know whether they are taking the drug or an inactive placebo until after the study has been completed. A safety committee composed of U-M physicians will closely monitor patient health and safety throughout the study. The trial will evaluate whether patients restore full knee strength within 6 months after surgery.
Growth hormone (somatropin) is a prescription medication that has been used to prevent muscle atrophy and wasting in patients with HIV and other severe illnesses. Recent work from the University of Copenhagen has also shown that growth hormone can prevent muscle loss in otherwise healthy individuals who are immobilized for a brief period of time. However, when abused and taken at a very high dose for prolonged periods of time, it can lead to large gains in muscle mass. Because of the potential for abuse, most professional sports leagues throughout the world currently ban growth hormone.
"There are a lot of assumptions about how growth hormone may impact athletic performance and sports injuries but these claims are not supported by strong scientific evidence," Mendias says.
"We hope our findings will help professional sports organizations make more informed decisions about whether growth hormone should remain a banned substance or be used as treatment that can safely aid healing in players, return them to their pre-injury strength levels and reduce other long-term musculoskeletal risks which result from these injuries.
"Improving the recovery of professional athletes with ACL tears will likely have an important short term impact on their playing careers but also help avoid long term health problems like osteoarthritis that can diminish quality of life and limit how active they can be as older adults," says Mendias.
Mendias and colleagues at U-M's MedSport clinic have long had a special interest and expertise in sports medicine therapies, conducting several studies over the years to improve the treatment of patients that suffer from muscle loss after rotator cuff tears or ACL tears.
"We hope our results bring new insight into the field of sports medicine and the quest to help both recreational and professional athletes more easily return to the activities they enjoyed before, and improve their long-term quality of life."
