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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tests whether a new high-intensity exercise program is feasible and can improve dynamic balance and physical activity in adolescents with cerebral palsy or spina bifida. Participants will perform a series of exercises twice a week, with researchers measuring walking speed and balance before and after. The goal is to see if this training approach could be a practical way to enhance mobility and daily activity in this population.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
A novel loaded high-intensity exercise training program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a practical exercise approach to improve mobility and daily physical activity in adolescents with cerebral palsy or spina bifida.
What could go wrong
This is a very small feasibility study (5 participants), so results may not apply broadly. The training is intense and may be challenging for some participants.
