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

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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tests whether a personalized physical therapy program helps people recover better after ventral hernia repair compared to standard care. One hundred adults aged 18-75 will be randomly assigned to either tailored PT or usual post-op instructions. Researchers will measure strength, pain, quality of life, and complications over one year.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
physical therapy (exercise, manual therapy, and education)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a standard post-surgery rehab program that helps people recover faster and with fewer complications after hernia repair.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The benefit of physical therapy over simple education may be small or hard to measure.
