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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

This trial tests whether adding shoulder and neck mobilization to standard physical therapy (hot packs, TENS, ultrasound, and exercises) can better reduce pain and improve function in people with subacromial impingement syndrome. Adults diagnosed with this shoulder condition will be randomly assigned to receive standard care alone, or standard care plus shoulder mobilization, or standard care plus both shoulder and neck mobilization. Over three weeks, researchers will measure pain intensity, shoulder range of motion, and arm function to see if the added manual techniques make a difference.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Manual therapy techniques: shoulder mobilization and neck mobilization, added to conventional treatment (hot pack, TENS, ultrasound, exercises)
What this could lead to
If adding these manual techniques helps, it could point to a more effective, drug-free way to manage shoulder impingement pain and improve arm function.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, so results may not apply broadly. Manual therapy may not provide extra benefit over standard care, and individual responses can vary.
