AIM:To examined the effects of stochastic resonance whole-body vibration training on musculoskeletal pain in young healthy individuals.METHODS:Participants were 43 undergraduate students of a Swiss University.The study was designed as a randomized controlled trial(RCT)with randomized group allocation.The RCT consisted of two groups each given 12 training sessions during four weeks with either 5 Hz-Training frequency(training condition)or 1.5 Hz Training frequency(control condition).Outcome was current musculoskeletal pain assessed in the evening on each day during the four week training period.RESULTS:Multilevel regression analysis showed musculoskeletal pain was significantly decreased in the training condition whereas there was no change in the control condition(B=-0.023,SE=0.010,P=0.021).Decrease in current musculoskeletal pain over four weeks was linear.CONCLUSION:Stochastic resonance whole-body vibration reduced musculoskeletal pain in young healthy individuals.Stochastic resonance vibration and not any other exercise component within training caused pain reduction.
