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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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 a technique called Postural Decoding to treat shoulder pain in 48 stroke survivors. The technique uses gentle repositioning, muscle release, and retraining to improve posture and movement. Participants get 40-minute sessions five times a week for four weeks, and researchers compare results to traditional massage therapy.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Postural Decoding Technique (a manual therapy involving repositioning, restoring, reinforcing, and retraining muscles and joints)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new, non-drug way to reduce shoulder pain and improve movement for stroke survivors.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 48 people, so results may not apply to everyone. It compares to massage, not a placebo, so benefits could be due to attention or touch rather than the technique itself.
