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 Results may not be published yet.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.
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.

Summary

Researchers are studying how short bursts of whole-body vibration, vibration combined with plantar stimulation, and a Baduanjin heel-raise exercise affect lower-limb muscle activity in young adults with flat feet and normal feet. Thirty college students will complete all conditions in a balanced order while surface sensors record muscle signals. The study does not aim to treat flat feet or measure long-term clinical benefits. It collects early information on immediate muscle activation and foot discomfort that may help design future foot-related exercise and rehabilitation studies.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
whole-body vibration training, plantar stimulation, and Baduanjin heel-raise exercise
What this could lead to
If the results are promising, they could inform future studies on foot-focused exercise, plantar stimulation, and rehabilitation training for people with flat feet.
What could go wrong
This is a small, short-term study of 30 young adults, so the findings may not apply to older people or those with other foot conditions. It does not test treatment or long-term benefits.

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 30 people

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

Expected to start
