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
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether adding blood flow restriction (BFR) training to standard exercise helps adults aged 50-60 with type 2 diabetes improve balance, muscle strength, and physical function. Participants wear compression cuffs on their limbs during low-intensity resistance exercises over 12 weeks. The goal is to see if BFR leads to greater gains than exercise alone, potentially offering a safer way to build strength without heavy weights.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Blood flow restriction (BFR) training device
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could offer a low-intensity exercise method to improve balance and muscle strength, reducing fall risk in older adults with diabetes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with 60 participants, so results may not apply broadly. BFR training carries risks like bruising, discomfort, or rare blood clots.

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
