Clinical Trial: Acute Effects of Menthol Gargle and Buccal Film on Anaerobic Capacity and Respiratory Parameters in Male Volleyball Players

U.S., Aug. 5 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07745049) titled 'Acute Effects of Menthol Gargle and Buccal Film on Anaerobic Capacity and Respiratory Parameters in Male Volleyball Players' on July 17.

Brief Summary: Menthol activates the transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) channel and can alter thermal and respiratory perception without producing an actual reduction in body or tissue temperature. Evidence on whether oral menthol improves short-duration maximal (anaerobic) performance is limited and inconsistent, and almost all existing exercise studies have delivered menthol as a mouth rinse, solution, gel or topical preparation. A menthol-containing buccal film represents a distinc...
