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 Results may not be published yet.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 study uses small body-worn sensors to measure how smoothly people with chronic low back pain move their spine during bending and twisting. Researchers want to see if movement fluidity improves after a 10-day rehab program and if it relates to how much disability people report. The goal is to find a better way to track recovery beyond just pain or range of motion.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a new way to measure recovery in low back pain using movement smoothness, helping doctors tailor rehabilitation.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 25 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is measuring movement, not testing a treatment, so it won't directly improve pain or function.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
