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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 pilot study will test whether a device that sends magnetic pulses to the arm can reduce pain in people with tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, or carpal tunnel syndrome. About 40 adults will receive either real or fake (sham) stimulation over two days. Researchers will measure pain levels and tissue oxygen changes right after treatment and up to 6 months later to see if it helps.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-invasive, drug-free option for managing chronic elbow or wrist pain.
What could go wrong
This is a very early pilot study with only 40 people, so results may not apply widely. The sham group receives weak pulses, which may still have some effect, making it hard to prove real benefit.

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 40 people

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

Expected to start

May 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Dec 2027

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

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: * Clinical diagnosis or self-reported history consistent with either medial or lateral epicondylitis or carpal tunnel syndromes. * Presence of chronic pain in the target area (mentioned above) at the time of enrollment. * Ability to understand the study procedures and provide informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Contraindications to peripheral magnetic stimulation, including implanted electronic medical devices or metallic implants in locations deemed unsafe for stimulation. * Open wounds, active skin conditions, or other local conditions at the stimulation site. * Current neurological, musculoskeletal, or systemic medical conditions that, in the opinion of the investigators, would interfere with safe participation or interpretation of study outcomes. * Current upper-limb injury or condition other than tennis/golfer elbow or carpal tunnel syndromes that could confound pain or perfusion measurements. * Pregnancy. * Inability to tolerate the stimulation or measurement procedures. * Inability to adequately understand study instructions or provide informed consent.
