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 Results may not be published yet.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.

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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 an interactive, hands-on ergonomic training program can better protect logistics workers from musculoskeletal problems compared to a traditional lecture-based seminar. Over one year, 70 manual material handlers will be randomly assigned to either the experiential training or the standard seminar. Researchers will track changes in posture-related ergonomic risk, musculoskeletal symptoms, and ergonomic knowledge at several points to see which approach leads to safer working habits.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Experiential learning-based ergonomic training program
What this could lead to
If effective, this training could become a standard approach to reduce work-related musculoskeletal disorders in manual handling jobs, improving worker health and productivity.
What could go wrong
The trial is relatively small (70 participants) and the results may not apply to all industries. The training's success depends on workers consistently applying what they learn over the long term.
