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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tested whether adding a structured treadmill walking program to standard iron therapy improves exercise tolerance and quality of life in young women with mild-to-moderate iron deficiency anemia. Sixty women aged 18-28 were split into two groups: one received iron supplements plus supervised treadmill sessions three times a week for 8 weeks, while the other received only iron supplements. The researchers measured physical fitness and well-being using step tests and questionnaires.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
treadmill aerobic exercise
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to boost physical fitness and daily well-being in young women with iron deficiency anemia.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercise program is short-term and supervised, so benefits might not last or be easy to replicate at home.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age between 18 to 28 years. * Biological females. * Clinically diagnosed with mild-to-moderate Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA), documented by laboratory Complete Blood Count (CBC) showing Hemoglobin (Hb) levels strictly between 9.0 and 12.0 g/dL, and serum ferritin levels ranging from 15 to 150 ng/mL. * Hemodynamically stable and medically cleared to safely participate in moderate-intensity aerobic exercise. * Regularly receiving physician-prescribed standard medical care (e.g., oral iron supplementation) Exclusion Criteria: * Severe anemia (Hemoglobin levels below 9.0 g/dL). * Pregnancy or lactation. * Chronic respiratory diseases, including bronchial asthma or COPD. * Acute or chronic cardiovascular instability (e.g., severe arrhythmias, uncontrolled hypertension, or structural heart disease). * Affected by chronic diseases or adhering to regular medication regimens (other than prescribed iron). * Neurological or musculoskeletal disorders that mechanically limit the ability to walk on a treadmill or perform the step test safely. * Experiencing acute illness, systemic infection, menorrhagia, irregular menstruation, or fever at the time of the study. * Active participation in other structured, vigorous athletic training programs. * Cognitive impairment affecting patient cooperation or the ability to understand the study questionnaires
