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
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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 tests three different force levels (2 kg, 5 kg, and 11 kg) of the 'crossed hands' myofascial release technique on healthy adults. The goal is to see how each force affects muscle stiffness, thickness, pain sensitivity, and lower back and hip mobility. By finding the most effective pressure, the study aims to make this manual therapy more consistent and reliable for future use.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Myofascial release therapy (crossed hands technique)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help standardize the force used in myofascial release therapy, making treatments more consistent and effective for muscle and fascia issues.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study in healthy adults, so results may not apply to people with pain or conditions. The optimal force may still vary by individual.
