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
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks at whether 4 weeks of low-intensity shoulder exercises, done with or without a blood flow restriction cuff, can reduce pain and improve function in people with rotator cuff-related shoulder pain. 34 adults with long-lasting shoulder pain will be randomly assigned to one of two exercise groups. The goal is to find a safer, less intense way to help shoulder pain.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Resistance exercise with and without blood flow restriction (BFR) device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a gentler exercise option for people with shoulder pain, potentially reducing pain and disability without heavy weights.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 34 participants. The results may not apply to everyone, and the benefits of adding blood flow restriction are uncertain.

Study facts

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 34 people

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

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Age between 18 and 65. * Shoulder symptoms lasting at least 3 months. * Pain in the proximal anterolateral aspect of the shoulder, aggravated by abduction. * At least two of the following tests positive: Jobe test, resisted external rotation test, Hawkins-Kennedy test, Neer test, painful arc between 60 and 120 degrees of shoulder abduction. Exclusion Criteria: * Pain of an intensity that prevents performance of the proposed exercises. * Active arm elevation less than 90 degrees. * Clinical signs of a complete tear (positive delayed external and internal rotation sign and positive drop arm test). * Suspected frozen shoulder (50% reduction or more than 30° loss of passive shoulder external rotation). * Primary diagnosis of shoulder instability or acromioclavicular pathology. * Shoulder pain due to primary involvement in the cervical or thoracic region * Corticosteroid injection within the last 6 weeks. * Presence of diseases such as inflammatory arthritis, neurological diseases, fibromyalgia, malignant tumors, or polymyalgia rheumatica. * Presence of comorbidities that increase cardiovascular risk, such as hypertension, diabetes, or heart failure. * Presence of more than one thromboembolism risk factor (obesity, history of thrombosis, prolonged immobilization, recent surgery, use of contraceptives, etc.). * Presence of active skin lesions in the area where the sleeve will be placed, recent scars or burns, or chronic dermatological diseases that compromise skin integrity, * Participation in upper limb exercise programs in the last month.
