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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial tests whether standing on a vibrating platform for short sessions, twice a week, can boost heat production (thermogenesis), improve heart health markers, and reduce inflammation in adults with obesity. Participants will be assigned to one of two types of vibrating platforms or a placebo platform that makes noise but does not vibrate. The goal is to see if this passive therapy can offer a simple, non-drug approach to improving metabolic and physical health.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
systemic vibration therapy using a vibrating platform
What this could lead to
If effective, vibration therapy could offer a low-effort, drug-free way to help manage obesity by boosting calorie burn and reducing inflammation.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial. The placebo effect or the specific vibration settings may not produce meaningful health changes, and results may not apply to all people with obesity.
