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 This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether a special arm-crank exercise (eccentric training) can improve upper body strength and daily function better than standard strength training for people recovering from a spinal cord injury. Twenty participants will do 20 sessions of one type of training over 12 weeks. Researchers will measure strength, muscle size, and quality of life before and after the program.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
eccentric arm-crank training (KREHA) and standard strength training
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a more effective exercise method to improve upper body strength and independence during spinal cord injury rehabilitation.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early-stage trial with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The training may be no better than standard care or hard to fit into routine rehab.
