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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This trial tests whether an AI-based training program given before arthroscopy can lower surgical anxiety, fear, and postoperative pain while improving comfort. About 75 adults scheduled for arthroscopy will be randomly assigned to receive either AI-assisted digital training or standard nurse-led education. Researchers will measure anxiety and fear before surgery and pain and comfort afterward to see if the AI approach offers extra benefits.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
AI-based educational training delivered digitally before arthroscopy
What this could lead to
If it works, AI-based pre-surgery training could offer a simple, scalable way to ease anxiety and improve comfort for people facing arthroscopy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, and results may not apply to all surgeries. The AI training may not outperform standard nurse education, and individual responses can vary.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
