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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study looks at whether adding a specific hands-on technique called Mobilization With Movement (MWM) to standard exercises can better reduce pain and improve shoulder function in people with rotator cuff tendinopathy. About 60 adults with chronic shoulder pain will be split into two groups: one doing only exercises, the other doing exercises plus MWM. Researchers will measure pain, function, and tendon changes using ultrasound over 8 weeks.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Mobilization With Movement (MWM) plus exercise therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a better, non-surgical way to reduce shoulder pain and improve function in people with rotator cuff problems.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants. The results may not apply to everyone, and the added benefit of mobilization over exercise alone is uncertain.
