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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tested whether adding kinesiotaping (a special tape applied to the forearm) to a home exercise program can reduce hand tremor in people with Parkinson's disease. 45 adults were randomly assigned to receive either therapeutic taping plus exercise, sham (placebo) taping plus exercise, or exercise alone for 4 weeks. Researchers measured tremor frequency using an Apple Watch and assessed hand strength, dexterity, and quality of life to see if the taping provides 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
kinesiotaping
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to reduce hand tremor and improve hand function in people with Parkinson's disease.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 45 participants. The results may not apply to everyone with Parkinson's, and the benefit over exercise alone or sham taping may be small or absent.
