NCT ID NCT07360626
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether an 8-week program combining exercise and health education can reduce muscle pain and improve well-being in textile workers. Thirty-eight volunteers from a Spanish textile factory will attend weekly workshops and do two online exercise sessions per week via a mobile app. The goal is to see if this practical workplace program can ease discomfort and boost physical and mental health.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Combined exercise training and health education program
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost workplace program to reduce muscle pain and improve quality of life for factory workers.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early study with only 38 participants and no comparison group, so results may not apply broadly. The program relies on self-motivation to complete online sessions.
