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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 metabolic syndrome (a cluster of conditions like high blood pressure and excess belly fat) makes it harder to recover from a rotator cuff injury. Forty adults with rotator cuff tears will be split into two groups—those with and without metabolic syndrome—and both will receive the same 4-week physical therapy program. Researchers will measure pain, strength, and shoulder function before and after treatment to see if metabolic syndrome slows healing.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
physiotherapy protocol (hot pack, TENS, ultrasound, therapeutic exercises)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that metabolic syndrome slows healing, leading to tailored rehab plans for patients with both conditions.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational study with only 40 participants. It does not test a new treatment, so results may not change practice directly.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study will include individuals aged 18-65, divided into two groups: Non-MetS Group: Individuals with unilateral rotator cuff tear (RMY) and no Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). MetS Group: Individuals with unilateral RMY and MetS, defined by meeting at least three of the NCEP-ATP III criteria, with stable metabolic syndrome (no major medical changes in the last 3 months). Exclusion Criteria: Participants will be excluded if they have: Inability to cooperate or mental health issues. Cervical radiculopathy or other shoulder pathologies (e.g., fractures, arthritis). Recent steroid injections, physiotherapy, or surgery (within 3 months). Neurological, vascular, or cardiac disorders. Systemic inflammatory diseases or significant postural issues.

* Inclusion Criteria for the Non-MetS Group: * Aged between 18-65 years * Willing to participate in the study * Unilateral Rotator Cuff Tear (RMY) * Inclusion Criteria for the MetS Group: In addition to the above criteria, meeting at least three of the NCEP-ATP III consensus criteria for Metabolic Syndrome Stable metabolic syndrome (e.g., no significant medical changes in the last 3 months) \- Exclusion Criteria for All Participants: * Inability to cooperate with the tests or presence of mental health issues * Presence of cervical radiculopathy symptoms * Presence of other orthopedic pathologies in the same shoulder (e.g., fracture, prosthesis, avascular necrosis, advanced shoulder osteoarthritis, frozen shoulder, severe scapular dyskinesia, neurological diseases, etc.) * Presence of function-limiting neurological, vascular, or cardiac issues * Local steroid injection to the shoulder within the last 3 months * Receipt of physiotherapy or rehabilitation within the last 3 months * Systemic rheumatic or inflammatory diseases * Surgical history due to chronic rotator cuff tear * Diagnosis of glenohumeral joint or acromioclavicular joint arthritis * Severe scapular dysfunction or significant postural abnormalities
