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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

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 adding thoracic (upper back) or hip mobility exercises to standard core stabilization exercises can better reduce pain and disability in people with lumbar spondylosis (a type of arthritis in the lower spine). Sixty adults aged 40-60 with chronic low back pain will be assigned to one of three exercise groups. The researchers will measure pain, function, range of motion, quality of life, and fear of movement over the course of the trial.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
exercise (core stabilization, thoracic mobility, hip mobility)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a more effective exercise program for managing chronic low back pain and stiffness from lumbar spondylosis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Exercise studies rely on patient effort and may show only modest benefits.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 60 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Mar 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

May 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

40 to 60 years

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.
