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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study will check if a new physical exam called Said's test can accurately diagnose biceps tendon injuries in the shoulder. Researchers will test 144 adults, including those with shoulder injuries and healthy volunteers. Two doctors will perform the new test and standard tests, then compare results to MRI or arthroscopy to see how accurate and reliable the new test is.

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 give doctors a more reliable, low-cost way to diagnose biceps injuries during a physical exam.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study that only tests the exam's accuracy, not a treatment. The new test may not prove better than existing methods.

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 population consists of patients aged 18 to 70 years presenting to the outpatient clinic at Assiut University Trauma Hospital with shoulder pain suggestive of a biceps pathology. The population also includes a control group of healthy individuals matched for age, sex, and activity level, or the asymptomatic contralateral shoulder of the enrolled patients.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients aged 18-70 years presenting with shoulder pain suggestive of biceps pathology. * Healthy individuals matched to age, sex, and level of activities to serve as a control group (or the normal contralateral shoulder of the same patient). Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who prefer conservative treatment. * Patients who have biceps belly (biceps fibers) tears. * Patients with an unstable shoulder because of the risk of dislocation during performing the new test. * Patients with a history of shoulder surgery within the past 6 months. * Patients with systemic inflammatory conditions affecting the joints (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis). * Patients unable to cooperate with physical examination. * Patients with contraindications to the gold standard diagnostic method (e.g., MRI contraindications).
