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 Results may not be published yet.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 investigates whether dynamic tape—a stretchy, elastic tape—can improve shoulder strength, delay fatigue, and enhance muscle control in recreational overhead athletes (like tennis players or swimmers). Participants will receive dynamic tape, kinesio tape, or a sham tape in separate sessions, then perform shoulder exercises. The goal is to see if dynamic tape outperforms other tapes in supporting shoulder muscles and preventing injuries.

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, dynamic taping could offer a simple, non-drug way to boost shoulder performance and reduce injury risk in overhead athletes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 22 participants. The tape may not provide meaningful benefits over sham or kinesio tape, and results may not apply to all athletes.
