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 Results may not be published yet.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.

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 tested whether kinetic chain exercises—movements that engage the whole body's muscle chain—can reduce pain and improve shoulder function in people with shoulder impingement syndrome. Thirty-six adults aged 30 to 50 with shoulder pain were split into two groups: one did kinetic chain exercises, the other did standard physical therapy. Researchers measured pain, range of motion, and disability to see which approach works better.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
kinetic chain exercises
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a more effective rehabilitation method for shoulder impingement syndrome, reducing pain and improving function.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 36 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercises may not outperform standard therapy.
