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 Results may not be published yet.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 pilot study looked at whether passive static stretching can increase hip flexibility in three groups: people who had hip replacement, those with long-term hip pain, and healthy volunteers. Twelve participants followed a 4-week stretching program three times a week under supervision. Hip movement was measured before and after using electronic sensors. The study is low-risk and involves no drugs or surgery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
passive static stretching
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to improve hip flexibility and daily function for people with hip problems or after hip replacement.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 12 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The stretching program is short (4 weeks), and long-term benefits are unknown.

Who is studied

The study included 12 adult participants (7 women, 5 men; mean age 52.5 ± 6.8 years) divided into three groups: Group A: 4 patients who had undergone total hip arthroplasty (THA) Group B: 4 patients with chronic non-surgical hip pain Group C: 4 healthy individuals with no prior hip or joint pathology Participants were selected based on their ability to safely perform passive hip stretching, absence of neurological or musculoskeletal comorbidities affecting motor control, and willingness to complete the 4-week intervention protocol. Written informed consent was obtained from all participants.
