Impact of Cervical Exercises During Simulated Game on Throwing Shoulder Motion and Strength
NCT06854692 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the impact of performing cervical exercises during a simulated game on shoulder range of motion and strength in collegiate baseball picthers. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can performing cervical retraction/extension exercises help to maintain shoulder internal rotation range of motion in the throwing shoulder after a pitching session? Can performing cervical retraction/extension exercises help to maintain shoulder external rotation strength in the throwing shoulder after a pitching session? Researchers will compare the effects of cervical retraction/extension exercises to no exercise to see if shoulder range of motion or strength is impacted. Participants will perform end-range cervical retraction and cervical retraction with extension, holding the end-range of motion for 3 seconds and performing 10 repetitions of each exercise between each inning of a simulated 5-inning game.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06854692
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06854692 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 20 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Sacred Heart University, which has 3 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Shoulder appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Cervical retraction exercise is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06854692 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Connecticut. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
