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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study explores whether a three-dimensional electronic pulse diagnostic device can accurately identify Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndromes in people with sleep disorders. Participants undergo pulse measurements and symptom assessments, and the device's results are compared with expert TCM diagnosis. The goal is to see if this technology can provide a reliable, non-invasive way to diagnose sleep disorders based on pulse patterns.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide an objective, non-invasive tool to help diagnose sleep disorders using Traditional Chinese Medicine principles.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study with a small sample size. The device may not match expert diagnosis accurately, and results may not apply to all sleep disorder patients.

Who is studied

The study population consisted of adult outpatients and inpatients with sleep disorders recruited from the Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital of Southern Medical University. Eligible participants had relatively stable symptoms, were able to complete the standardized Six-Image symptom questionnaire and electronic pulse examination, and provided written informed consent. All participants underwent expert traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation and bilateral cun, guan, and chi pulse signal acquisition using the KY-M-A1 three-dimensional electronic pulse diagnostic system.
