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 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 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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tests whether wearing a back-support exoskeleton during daily warehouse work can reduce back pain, sick leave, and discomfort. About 90 full-time workers in a Danish warehouse will either use the device or continue normal work for 18 months. Researchers will track pain levels, productivity, and how well workers accept the device.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
IX Back AIR passive back-support exoskeleton (a wearable device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that exoskeletons help reduce back pain and sick leave in physically demanding jobs, leading to healthier workplaces.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage field study with only 90 workers in one warehouse. Results may not apply to other settings, and long-term comfort or productivity effects are unknown.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

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 90 people

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

Expected to start

Aug 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Oct 2029

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.

Ages

18 to 65 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: * age 18-65 years at enrolment * full-time employment in the current work department * no major pain or injuries affecting daily work tasks Exclusion Criteria: * anthropometric characteristics preventing adequate fit of the exoskeleton * part-time employment * pregnancy or anticipated prolonged absence from work during the study period (standard vacation not included) If a participating worker from either the intervention or control group transfers to another department within the company during the intervention period for reasons unrelated to the intervention, the participant will be excluded from the study. Such cases will be classified as dropouts and the corresponding data will be reported as lost to follow-up.
