What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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

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.

Summary

This study tests whether combining passive and active hamstring stretching improves flexibility more than passive stretching alone in people with chronic low back pain. Ninety adults with tight hamstrings will be randomly assigned to one of the two stretching groups. Flexibility, stiffness, and pelvic tilt are measured before and immediately after a single session. The goal is to find better rehabilitation strategies for managing low back pain.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
stretching exercises (passive and passive-active hamstring stretching)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a more effective stretching technique to improve flexibility and movement in people with chronic low back pain.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial measuring immediate effects only. Results may not translate to long-term pain relief or apply to all back pain patients.

Participants

About 90 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
