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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tested different doses of shockwave therapy in 48 adults with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). Participants received focused shockwaves to the shoulder, and researchers measured changes in range of motion and shoulder function. The goal was to find the most effective dose for improving movement and reducing stiffness.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
focused extracorporeal shockwave therapy (device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help identify the best shockwave dose to improve shoulder movement and reduce pain in people with frozen shoulder.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 48 participants. Results may not apply to everyone, and the therapy might not work better than other treatments.
