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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

Researchers at Hacettepe University are studying people who had surgery for a massive rotator cuff tear. They want to see how the brain's signals to shoulder muscles, shoulder function, and psychological resilience relate to each other. Participants complete shoulder and mood questionnaires, and their deltoid muscles are tested with transcranial magnetic stimulation. The study aims to guide rehabilitation and predict recovery after surgery.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If the study finds links between brain signaling, shoulder function, and resilience, it could shape rehabilitation plans after rotator cuff surgery. It may also help identify who might need extra support during recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study of 34 people, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The findings may not apply to other patients or surgical methods, and the results are years away from changing care.
