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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tests whether adding a portable, three-dimensional visual tool to standard teaching improves health sciences students' knowledge of cervical dilation assessment. Around 62 students are randomly assigned to either standard education alone or standard education plus repeated practice with the 3D material. Researchers measure changes in knowledge, satisfaction, and self-confidence to see if the low-cost simulation tool enhances learning.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Portable 3D visual material-supported simulation training
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could offer a low-cost, portable way to improve hands-on clinical skills training for health sciences students.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study with a non-standardized knowledge test, so results may not apply broadly or show clear learning gains.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

62 people

The number who actually took part.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.
