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 Results may not be published yet.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.
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 compares two types of exercise programs—pelvic proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and multiplanar trunk training—to see which one better improves balance and functional mobility in people who have had a stroke. The trial will involve 48 chronic stroke survivors who can sit and walk with help. Participants will do their assigned exercises for 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week, for 12 weeks. The goal is to find a more effective rehabilitation method to help stroke patients regain balance and reduce fall risk.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Pelvic proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation exercises and multiplanar trunk training exercises
What this could lead to
If one exercise program proves better, it could point toward a more effective rehabilitation approach for improving balance and walking after a stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 48 participants, so results may not apply to all stroke survivors. The exercises may not lead to meaningful improvements for everyone.
