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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This trial compares two exercise programs—stabilization exercises and corrective exercises—to see which better reduces pain, improves breathing, and corrects posture in office workers with upper cross syndrome. About 50 adults aged 24–40 who work long hours at computers will be randomly assigned to one of the two programs, each lasting six weeks. Researchers will measure pain, lung function, and posture before and after to determine which approach offers greater benefits.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Stabilization exercises and corrective exercises
What this could lead to
If one exercise approach proves more effective, it could give physiotherapists a clear, evidence-based way to treat upper cross syndrome in desk workers.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Exercise programs also depend on adherence, and some people may not improve.
