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 Results may not be published yet.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
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 looks at whether a standard shoulder X-ray can detect bone loss in the weak arm of people who have had a stroke. Researchers will measure bone thickness on X-rays from 65 stroke survivors and compare those measurements to the gold-standard DXA bone density scan. If the X-ray method works well, it could offer a cheaper, more accessible way to screen for osteoporosis after stroke.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that simple shoulder X-rays can help screen for bone loss after stroke, making detection easier and more accessible.
What could go wrong
This is a small, observational study, not a treatment trial. It only looks at past data, so it cannot prove that X-rays can replace DXA scans for diagnosis.

Who is studied

Adults aged 18 years and older recruited from the clinics of Istanbul Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital. Participants will include hemiparetic individuals with a history of a single unilateral stroke occurring at least 6 months prior, who possess concurrent standard shoulder radiographs and systemic dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry measurements.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients aged 18 years and older. * A documented history of a single unilateral stroke that occurred at least 6 months prior to evaluation. * Presence of clinical hemiparesis. * Availability of concurrent standard anteroposterior (AP) shoulder radiographs taken within 6 months post-stroke alongside systemic DXA measurements. Exclusion Criteria: * History of surgical intervention in either shoulder. History of a proximal humerus fracture. * Co-existing metabolic bone diseases, such as primary hyperparathyroidism or osteomalacia. * History of malignancy. * Documented history of corticosteroid use. * Imaging artifacts that compromise the accuracy of DXA measurements. * History of a secondary stroke.
