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 Results may not be published yet.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

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

Summary

This pilot study tests a new, pain-controlled rehab program for 40 adolescent soccer players (ages 14-19) with mild lumbar stress reactions. Instead of the standard 3-month sports ban, the program uses early, criteria-based activity progression. Researchers will monitor bone healing on MRI and track pain and function over 3-6 months to see if this approach is safe and effective.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Active rehabilitation protocol (ActiveBack, AktivRygg)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a safer, faster return to soccer for teens with mild back stress fractures, reducing the need for a 3-month sports break.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 40 participants and no control group. The results may not apply to all players, and the new protocol might not be as safe or effective as hoped.

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

Expected to start

May 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Feb 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
