What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 looks at muscle problems, metabolic issues, and chronic inflammation in adolescents and young adults (ages 14-30) with moderate to severe spastic cerebral palsy. Researchers will compare them to less affected and healthy peers, then have the more affected group do a 12-week fitness training program using special tricycles called Frame Runners. The goal is to understand how their bodies respond to exercise and whether it can improve muscle function and reduce health risks.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
cardiorespiratory fitness training using Frame Runners (special tricycles)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that regular fitness training improves muscle health and reduces cardiometabolic risks in people with cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The training is short (12 weeks), and long-term benefits are unknown.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The patient selection is based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria from the patient pool of the local clinic for Orthopaedics and Traumatology. In addition, other interested persons/families will be informed about the study via other clinics, (pediatric orthopedic) elective medical practices, rehabilitation centers and physiotherapy facilities within the city and the surrounding area.

Ages

14 to 30 years

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

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