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 This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether headsets that measure brainwaves can detect early signs of brain changes in tactical operators exposed to explosive blasts during training. About 12 participants will wear EEG headsets and blast sensors during their regular breaching exercises, and their brainwave patterns will be compared to their own baseline. The goal is to see if these headsets can pick up subtle changes that might later lead to memory loss or vision problems, even if the person feels fine now.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Brainwave-measuring headsets (EEG) and blast sensors worn during explosive breaching training
What this could lead to
If brainwave headsets can reliably detect early signs of brain changes from blast exposure, this could lead to a practical tool for monitoring brain health in military and tactical personnel.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study, so results may not apply broadly. The headsets are not approved medical devices, and the study only measures, not treats, so it cannot prove any long-term effects.

Who can take part

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

Who is studied

Participants are tactical operators enrolled in a pre-scheduled explosive breaching training course delivered by Guild Solutions at Royal Canadian Mounted Police facilities in the Ottawa-Gatineau region of Canada. All are healthy adults at least 18 years of age; a minimum age of 18 is a prerequisite for enrollment in the training course itself, and no upper age limit applies. Approximately 12 participants will be enrolled from a single course cohort. Recruitment occurs in person through a verbal briefing to the assembled class, delivered by the Principal Investigator on the first day of the course, with a private room available for individual review and signing of the consent form. Enrollment is voluntary and open to any course participant who meets the eligibility criteria. Because the sample is drawn from one training cohort at a single site, findings may not generalize to other operator populations or to other blast exposure profiles.
