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 Results may not be published yet.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

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 study compares two types of hand therapy for people with scapholunate instability, a wrist condition causing pain and weakness. One group will do standard exercises, while the other uses virtual reality. Researchers will measure muscle activity, sense of joint position, pain, and grip strength before and after 8 weeks of treatment.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
virtual reality-supported neuromuscular rehabilitation
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that virtual reality-based rehab improves wrist function and reduces pain better than standard physiotherapy for people with scapholunate instability.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 36 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is non-invasive, but the virtual reality approach may not prove superior to conventional therapy.
