What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study aims to investigate the effects of visual rehabilitation and vestibular rehabilitation added to conventional physiotherapy on postural stability, pain, and functional status in individuals with knee osteoarthritis. Participants will be randomly assigned to three groups: conventional physiotherapy, conventional physiotherapy combined with visual rehabilitation, or conventional physiotherapy combined with vestibular rehabilitation. The study will evaluate changes in balance, pain, and functional performance before and after the intervention.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 42 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Clinical and radiological diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis. 2. Kellgren-Lawrence Grade 2-3 knee osteoarthritis. 3. Age 40-65 years. 4. Ability to ambulate independently. 5. Voluntary participation and provision of written informed consent. - Exclusion Criteria: 1. Kellgren-Lawrence Grade 4 knee osteoarthritis. 2. History of lower extremity surgery. 3. Other orthopedic pathologies accompanying knee osteoarthritis. 4. History of neurological, vestibular, or central nervous system disease. 5. Ophthalmological disease that may affect visual perception, visual field, or peripheral vision even with corrected vision (e.g., glaucoma, retinal pathologies, advanced cataract). 6. Participation in a balance or vestibular rehabilitation program within the previous 6 months. 7. Systemic disease that would prevent exercise participation (e.g., cardiovascular disease or uncontrolled hypertension). \-
