What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This trial tests whether progressive resistance training, a supervised exercise program, can reduce hip pain in adults with external snapping hip, a condition where the hip makes an audible and painful snap during movement. Researchers will compare the exercise program to a wait-and-see approach in 100 adults aged 18 to 40. Participants will do six exercises three times a week for 12 weeks, with some sessions supervised. The study measures pain and other outcomes like function and quality of life to see if this training offers a new treatment path.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Progressive resistance training, a supervised exercise program with six exercises done three times a week for 12 weeks
What this could lead to
If it works, this could establish a specific, non-surgical treatment option for external snapping hip, reducing pain and improving function.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial, and the training requires commitment. Results may not apply to everyone, and the exercise could be hard to sustain.
