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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tested whether applying low-frequency electromagnetic fields to the lower back could reduce sciatica pain and improve postural control in people with a lumbar disc herniation. Forty-four adults aged 30 to 45 with mild to moderate disc prolapse received either electromagnetic field therapy plus standard physical therapy, or standard therapy alone, three times a week for four weeks. The researchers measured pain, balance, and disability before and after treatment.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
electromagnetic field therapy (device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-invasive, drug-free option to reduce sciatic pain and improve balance for people with a slipped disc.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 44 participants. The results may not apply to everyone, and the benefits might be modest or not last long.
