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 Results may not be published yet.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 teaching people about pain during light cycling helps chronic low back pain more than cycling alone. 24 adults with long-term back pain were split into two groups: one cycled while learning about pain, the other just cycled. Researchers measured pain, pressure sensitivity, and function before and after a single session.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Pain neuroscience education delivered during aerobic exercise
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to improve pain and function in people with chronic low back pain.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study with only 24 participants. Results may not apply to everyone, and the benefit over exercise alone might be small or absent.
