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 Results may not be published yet.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

This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

Researchers compare two physical therapy tools for children with Down syndrome: a virtual reality game system and a whole-body vibration machine. Forty children aged 6 to 10 who can stand independently join the study. Each child receives one of the two therapies for 30 minutes, three times a week, for three months. The study measures changes in muscle strength, balance, and motor function to see which approach works better.

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 training and whole-body vibration therapy
What this could lead to
If one approach works better, therapists could use it to help children with Down syndrome build strength and balance more effectively.
What could go wrong
This is a small, short study with 40 children, so the results may not apply to all children with Down syndrome. Both therapies are non-invasive, but children with epilepsy or certain physical conditions cannot take part.
