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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tests whether adding brain-challenging exercises (like reacting to lights while moving) to standard physical therapy helps people recover better after shoulder stabilization surgery. Thirty-two adults who had surgery for shoulder instability will be randomly assigned to either standard rehab alone or standard rehab plus neurocognitive loading. Researchers will measure shoulder awareness, strength, fear of movement, and readiness to return to sports over 24 weeks.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Neurocognitive loading exercises (dual-task training with light-based reaction systems and cognitive tasks) added to standard physical rehabilitation
What this could lead to
If it works, this approach could improve shoulder function and reduce fear of movement after shoulder stabilization surgery, helping people return to sports more confidently.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 32 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The added benefit of neurocognitive loading over standard rehab alone is 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 32 people

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

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Age: Participant must be between 18 and 45 years of age. * Diagnosis: Must have undergone arthroscopic anterior shoulder stabilization surgery (e.g., Bankart repair, Latarjet, or remplissage techniques) within the past month due to traumatic, unilateral anterior shoulder instability. * Postoperative Timeline: Currently within postoperative days 10 to 28. * Baseline Activity Level: Pre-injury physical activity level must be a score of 3 or higher on the Tegner Activity Scale. * Consent: Participant must be willing and give voluntary informed consent to participate in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Hypermobility: Diagnosed generalized joint hypermobility syndrome, defined as a Beighton Score of 5 or higher. * Neurological or Systemic Conditions: Presence of any systemic, rheumatic, or neurological disorders. * Previous Surgical History: History of prior shoulder surgery or revision surgery on the affected side, with the exception of the primary anterior shoulder stabilization and an accompanying SLAP lesion repair. * Concomitant Structural Pathology: Concomitant rotator cuff tear larger than 1 centimeter. History of osteochondral lesions or acromioclavicular separation injuries. * Contralateral Limb Status: History of shoulder instability, shoulder surgery, or any shoulder injury within the past 6 months on the uninjured (contralateral) side. * Cognitive Impairment: A score of 24 or below on the Standardized Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). * Visual/Sensory Impairments: Any severe visual or sensory deficit that prevents interaction with visual-reactive training equipment. * Pregnancy: Current pregnancy. Non-compliance/Withdrawal: * Refusal to participate or withdrawal of consent at any stage of the study. * Attendance of less than 80% of the scheduled supervised rehabilitation sessions. * Missing two consecutive clinical follow-up assessment sessions.
