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 Results may not be published yet.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

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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 will test whether using an intermittent pneumatic compression device on the leg can improve ankle joint awareness (proprioception) and balance in people who have had a stroke. Fifty-six participants aged 50-65 with moderate balance problems will receive the treatment. The goal is to see if this simple, non-invasive approach can help reduce instability and fall risk.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Intermittent pneumatic compression device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, non-drug way to improve balance and reduce fall risk in stroke survivors.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (56 people) with no blinding or placebo control, so results may not be reliable or generalizable. The intervention is a device, not a cure.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * The age of the patients will range from 50-65 years old. * Patients with stroke duration of illness ranged from six months to 18 months. * BMI (Body Mass Index) ranged from 20- 30 Kg/m2. * The muscle tone of the affected lower limb muscles ranged from 1 to 2 grade according Modified Aschworth Scale. * Patients who have moderate impaired balance. * Patients who have impaired proprioception. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with cardiovascular problems (open heart surgery or pacemaker). * Patients with neurological diseases that affect lower limb function other than stroke (ex: Multiple sclerosis, Peripheral neuropathy, Parkinsonism…. etc.). * Patients Suffered of Deep veins thrombosis (DVT). * Patient with recurrent stroke. * Patients with musculoskeletal disorders such as severe arthritis, knee surgery, total hip joint replacement, lower limb fractures or contractures of fixed deformity, leg length discrepancy after total hip replacement
