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 Results may not be published yet.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
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.

Summary

This study looks at whether adding a type of tape called dynamic tape to shoulder exercises helps people with shoulder impingement syndrome. Participants will do motor control exercises either with or without the tape. The goal is to see if the tape improves shoulder movement, muscle activity, and brain signals, and reduces pain and disability.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
dynamic tape
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could offer a simple, non-drug way to improve shoulder function and reduce pain for people with shoulder impingement.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 34 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The benefits of dynamic tape over exercise alone remain uncertain.
