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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This trial tests whether adding kinesio tape to somatosensory motor control exercises improves pain, lower-back flexibility, balance, and daily function in people with sciatica. Adults aged 35-50 with a herniated disc in the lower back and leg pain lasting 3-6 months will receive either motor control exercises alone or the same exercises plus kinesio tape, three times a week for six weeks. Researchers will measure changes in pain, spinal range of motion, dynamic balance, and disability before and after treatment to see if the tape adds extra benefit.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
somatosensory motor control exercises with and without kinesio tape, plus conventional treatment
What this could lead to
If adding kinesio tape to motor control exercises proves effective, it could point toward a non-drug, low-cost way to ease sciatica pain and improve mobility and balance.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, so results may not apply to everyone with sciatica. Kinesio tape is generally safe, but its added benefit over exercise alone is uncertain and may be minimal.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 58 people

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