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 Results may not be published yet.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 looked at whether starting gentle shoulder exercises two weeks after getting a heart device (like a pacemaker) helps people recover shoulder movement and strength over three years. Researchers compared two types of exercise programs to standard care in 89 adults. The goal was to see if early movement improves quality of life without harming the device.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
structured stretching and strengthening exercises
What this could lead to
If effective, early shoulder exercises could become a standard recommendation after heart device implants to prevent long-term shoulder problems.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 89 participants. The exercises may not work for everyone, and long-term benefits are uncertain.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients aged 18 years or older. * Patients undergoing first-time transvenous subcutaneous prepectoral CIED (Pacemaker, ICD, or CRT) implantation. * Patients with no prior history of major shoulder surgery or chronic shoulder pathology on the side of the implantation. * Patients who are capable of understanding and performing the prescribed exercise protocols. * Patients who provided written informed consent to participate in a 3-year longitudinal follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients undergoing revision or replacement procedures of existing devices or leads. * Pre-existing frozen shoulder, rotator cuff tear, or severe adhesive capsulitis on the implantation side. * Neurological or musculoskeletal disorders affecting upper limb function (e.g., prior stroke sequelae or severe cervical disc herniation). * Cognitive impairment or psychiatric disorders preventing cooperation with the study protocol. * Lead-related complications (e.g., dislodgement or cardiac perforation) occurring within the first 2 weeks post-implantation, prior to the initiation of the exercise program.
