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.

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 Results may not be published yet.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.

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 tests whether standing on a whole-body vibration platform while doing hip and knee exercises reduces pain and improves function in people with patellofemoral pain syndrome (a common cause of front knee pain). Forty adults aged 18 to 40 will be randomly assigned to either real vibration or a sham device that only makes noise. The goal is to see if adding vibration to standard strengthening exercises provides extra relief.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Whole-body vibration device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to ease knee pain and improve function for people with patellofemoral pain syndrome.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The sham device mimics sound but not vibration, which might not fully blind participants.
