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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tests whether a standardized way of taking spine X-rays gives consistent results. 45 people with back or leg pain will have two sets of X-rays to see if the measurements match. The goal is to improve how doctors diagnose spinal instability.

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 successful, this could lead to a more reliable way to diagnose spinal instability using X-rays, helping surgeons decide on the best treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage reliability study, not a treatment trial. The standardized protocol may not improve diagnosis enough to change clinical practice.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * referral to the orthopaedic surgeon because of pain in the back or leg and requiring lumbar spine radiographs so the orthopaedic surgeon is able to diagnose the probable cause of the pain. * over the age of 18 years * ability to flex and extend the spine sufficiently to facilitate acceptable flexion and extension radiographs. Exclusion Criteria: * any form of spine-related traumatic injury * prior lumbar spinal surgery * lateral spondylolisthesis or coronal plane curvature in the lumbar spine of \>10° * the presence of involuntary back muscle spasms * the presence of significant changes in pain during the day * inability to understand and sign the study Informed Consent form * inability to follow oral instructions
