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 Results may not be published yet.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

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 tests whether a special electrical therapy called CRET can help elite soccer players with hamstring strains get back on the field faster. Twenty-two players will receive either standard rehab alone or rehab plus CRET therapy. Researchers will measure how many days it takes to return to full sport and track muscle oxygen levels and strength.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Capacitive and resistive electrical transfer therapy (CRET) device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help athletes recover faster from hamstring injuries and return to sport sooner.
What could go wrong
This is a small early trial with only 22 participants, so results may not apply to all athletes. The device is an add-on to standard rehab, so its added benefit is uncertain.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * History of acute onset hamstring pain. * Grade I or II hamstring strain injury confirmed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) within the first 5 days following the injury. * No history of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
