Cycling into Relief: The CLEAT Trial Validates Community-Based Exercise for Hip Osteoarthritis

The CLEAT trial demonstrates that an 8-week cycling and education program (CHAIN) significantly improves function in hip osteoarthritis compared to usual physiotherapy. Despite falling just short of the clinical importance threshold, its high cost-effectiveness positions it as a viable community-based alternative for the NHS.

Evaluating the Cost-Effectiveness of Early In-Bed Cycling Plus Routine Physiotherapy in Mechanically Ventilated ICU Patients: Insights from the CYCLE Trial

This economic evaluation from the CYCLE randomized trial found no significant cost or quality-adjusted life-year benefit by adding early in-bed cycling to usual physiotherapy for ICU patients on mechanical ventilation, underscoring a need for further research to clarify its value.
