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 Results may not be published yet.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 how pain works (pain neuroscience education) could improve shoulder pain and daily function. 42 adults with rotator cuff shoulder pain received either exercise alone or exercise plus pain education over 6 weeks. The goal was to see if understanding pain better leads to less pain and disability.

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
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to improve shoulder pain and function by changing how people understand and cope with pain.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 42 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The education is added to exercise, so it is unclear how much benefit comes from the education alone.
