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 Results may not be published yet.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 trial compares two rehabilitation approaches for people with Parkinson's disease: whole-body vibration therapy and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) patterns combined with rhythmic-based training. The goal is to see which method better improves balance, walking speed, and overall motor function. The study includes 42 adults aged 40 to 60 with mild to moderate Parkinson's (Hoehn and Yahr stages 2 and 3) who can walk independently.

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 and rhythmic-based training
What this could lead to
If one approach proves more effective, it could offer a better, more tolerable rehabilitation option for people with Parkinson's, potentially improving mobility and quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 42 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The interventions are physical therapies, so benefits may be modest and adherence could vary.
