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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study compares two types of core stability exercises—abdominal drawing-in and abdominal expansion—to see which works better for chronic low back pain. Ninety-six adults with pain lasting over 12 weeks will receive 4 weeks of training with either verbal or hands-on guidance. Researchers will measure pain, movement control, and disability at several points to find the best approach.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Core stability exercise training (abdominal drawing-in manoeuvre and dynamic neuromuscular stabilization abdominal expansion)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward more effective exercise programs for managing chronic low back pain without medication or surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 96 participants and no blinding, so results may not apply broadly. The exercises may not reduce pain significantly for everyone.
