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
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early This study
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 a portable goggle system that tracks eye movements can help diagnose mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The goggles measure how well the eyes work together when following a specific pattern of visual cues. Researchers will compare results from people with a history of mTBI to those without, to see if the test can reliably tell the difference.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
I-PAS Goggles (portable head-mounted display with eye tracking)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a quick, objective diagnostic tool for mild traumatic brain injury, potentially reducing reliance on subjective symptom reports.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 participants. The test may not prove accurate enough for clinical use, and results may not generalize to all types of brain injury.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.
