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 Results may not be published yet.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.

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 using a floss band or a hands-on movement technique can immediately improve shoulder mobility in volleyball athletes. Thirty-six amateur or professional players will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods. Their shoulder range of motion, movement fluency, and sport performance will be measured before and right after the intervention.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Floss Band (compressive elastic band) and mobilization with movement (MWM) procedure
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a quick, non-drug way for volleyball players to improve shoulder mobility and performance before games or training.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 36 healthy athletes, so results may not apply to others. It only looks at immediate effects, not long-term benefits or injury prevention.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age between 18 and 50 years. * Male or female volleyball athletes (indoor or beach), at amateur or professional level. * Regular training routine of at least two sessions per week. * No shoulder pain at the time of testing or during the previous three months. Exclusion Criteria: * History of shoulder surgery, structural shoulder injuries (e.g., fractures, labrum tear), or recurrent glenohumeral dislocation. * Skin disorders contraindicating the intervention, including active dermatitis, inflammatory-phase psoriasis, cutaneous infections (e.g., folliculitis), open wounds, burns, eczema, or hypersensitivity in the shoulder region. * Vascular disorders contraindicating the intervention, including history or diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis, symptomatic varicose veins, peripheral arterial disease, lymphedema, or advanced chronic venous insufficiency. * Other conditions contraindicating intervention: peripheral neuropathies with significant sensory loss, presence of a pacemaker in the region of band application, known allergy to elastic band material, or pain during shoulder movement at assessment. * Development of shoulder or elbow injuries during the study, especially requiring surgical intervention. * Participants who voluntarily withdraw from the study at any time.
