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.

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 Results may not be published yet.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.

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 core stability training to standard physical therapy improves trunk control and sitting balance in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. 46 participants aged 25-35 with injuries between T6 and T12 took part. The core training focused on exercises to strengthen the muscles of the trunk and improve coordination while sitting.

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 training (exercise program)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple exercise program to help people with spinal cord injuries sit more steadily and control their trunk better.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 46 participants. The results may not apply to everyone with spinal cord injury, and the benefits might be modest.
