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 This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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

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

Summary

Stroke survivors often face unmet needs long after the initial event, especially younger adults who must balance rehabilitation with work and family. This trial tests a 12-month digital education and peer support program, co-designed with patients and delivered through LINE communities and Google platforms, against usual care. Researchers will measure whether the program reduces unmet needs and improves self-efficacy, mood, quality of life, and return-to-work status in 148 survivors aged 31–64.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a 12-month digital education and peer support program delivered through LINE communities and Google platforms
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could offer a scalable way to address persistent unmet needs and improve recovery for younger stroke survivors balancing rehabilitation with work and family.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial (148 participants) testing a behavioral intervention, so results may not generalize widely. The program relies on digital engagement, which may not suit everyone.
