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 Results may not be published yet.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
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 a tablet- and smartphone-based system designed to help ICU staff decide when and how to safely start moving patients with severe brain injuries. The system checks safety factors and suggests mobility levels, from simple stretches to walking. Researchers will see if the tool is easy to use and if staff follow its recommendations. The goal is to make early mobilization safer and more consistent for these critically ill patients.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) for Early Mobilization
What this could lead to
If successful, this system could help standardize and improve early mobilization decisions for patients with severe brain injuries in the ICU, potentially speeding recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 25 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The system may not improve outcomes or could be difficult for staff to use consistently.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults (≥18 years) admitted to the neuro-ICU or trauma ICU. * Diagnosis of acute neurological conditions, including traumatic brain injury (TBI), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), or acute ischemic stroke (AIS). * Hemodynamically stable and deemed eligible for rehabilitation evaluation. * Expected ICU stay ≥48 hours. Exclusion Criteria: * Pre-existing severe physical disability (modified Rankin Scale ≥4 before admission). * Unstable intracranial pressure or craniectomy with active cerebrospinal fluid leakage. * Unstable fractures or contraindications for mobilization as determined by the attending physician. * Palliative care status or do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders. * Patients unable to participate in mobilization assessment due to medical instability or family refusal.
