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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This trial compares two non-drug approaches—isometric strengthening exercises and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)—to see which better relieves shoulder pain and improves movement in people with type 2 diabetes. Adults aged 40-65 with diabetes-related frozen shoulder will be assigned to one of the two treatments for six weeks. Researchers will measure changes in shoulder range of motion and pain intensity to determine which method offers greater benefit.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Isometric shoulder exercises and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)
What this could lead to
If effective, these approaches could offer simple, drug-free ways to ease shoulder pain and improve mobility in people with diabetes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, so results may not apply broadly. Exercises might be hard to do consistently, and TENS may not work for everyone.
