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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tested whether adding blood flow restriction (BFR) training to standard physical therapy helps military cadets recover shoulder strength and function after stabilization surgery. Forty cadets were split into two groups: one received BFR plus therapy, the other therapy alone. Researchers measured strength, range of motion, pain, and patient-reported outcomes over six months. The goal was to see if BFR leads to faster or better recovery.

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 therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a better way to recover shoulder strength and function after surgery, potentially reducing recovery time.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The approach is still experimental and may not outperform standard therapy.
