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.

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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This pilot study tested whether adding group-based pain neuroscience education (PNE) to a community exercise program helps older women with knee osteoarthritis. Nineteen women aged 60+ were randomly assigned to 10 weeks of exercise plus PNE or exercise alone. Researchers measured daily function, pain, and knowledge about pain. The goal was to see if this combined approach is feasible and offers extra benefits.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
pain neuroscience education (PNE) plus exercise
What this could lead to
If it works, this approach could offer a simple, non-drug way to help older women with knee osteoarthritis feel better and move more easily.
What could go wrong
This was a very small pilot study with only 19 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The added benefit of PNE over exercise alone is still uncertain.
