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 Results may not be published yet.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.
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.

Summary

This study tested whether adding mental imagery or video observation to standard exercise could improve pelvic floor muscle strength and pain sensitivity in young women without symptoms. Forty-five participants were split into three groups: exercise plus motor imagery (imagining the movements), exercise plus action observation (watching the movements), or exercise alone. Researchers measured muscle strength, pain thresholds, and lower back control to see if the mental techniques provided extra benefit.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward simple, non-invasive ways to strengthen pelvic floor muscles and reduce pain in women.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study in healthy women, so results may not apply to those with symptoms or other conditions. The interventions are behavioral, so effects may be modest.
