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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial tests two manual therapies for sacroiliac joint dysfunction, a common cause of low back pain. One group receives pelvic PNF, a technique using stretching and rhythmic stabilization, while the other gets HVLA thrust, a quick, controlled manipulation. Researchers will measure pain, mobility, and flexibility in 62 adults aged 18 to 40 over six weeks, with a follow-up at twelve weeks. The goal is to see which approach offers more lasting relief and better movement.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Pelvic PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) and HVLA (high-velocity low-amplitude) thrust manipulation
What this could lead to
If one technique proves more effective, it could give clinicians a clear, evidence-based choice for treating sacroiliac joint dysfunction without drugs or surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with 62 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Manual therapy carries a low risk of soreness or injury, and the study has not yet produced findings.
