What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tests whether adding pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy to standard physical therapy and spa treatments can reduce pain and improve shoulder function in people with chronic shoulder tendinopathy. Sixty adults aged 18 to 70 with shoulder pain lasting over 3 months will receive either standard care or standard care plus daily PEMF sessions for two weeks. Researchers will measure pain, function, and quality of life right after treatment and again four weeks later.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
pulsed electromagnetic field therapy via a device called Super Inductive System
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-invasive, drug-free way to ease shoulder pain and improve function for people with chronic tendinopathy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment is added to standard rehab, making it hard to know how much benefit comes from the device alone.
