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 Results may not be published yet.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

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 tested whether standing on special vibrating platforms for 12 months could help postmenopausal women maintain bone density, muscle mass, and physical function while reducing falls. 127 women were randomly assigned to one of two types of vibration or a sham (fake) vibration. Researchers measured bone density, muscle thickness, balance, and quality of life at the start, 6 months, and 12 months.

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 (triplanar or side-alternating vibrating platform)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help postmenopausal women maintain bone and muscle health and reduce fall risk.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study, but results may be mixed or not generalizable. Vibration therapy is not a proven replacement for exercise or medication.
