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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 trial investigates whether a 12-session program called Life Kinetik, which uses varied motor and cognitive exercises, can improve cognitive flexibility—the ability to adapt thinking and switch between tasks—in university students. It compares this program to a cognitive-behavioral approach, a combined program, and a no-intervention group. Researchers will measure self-reported cognitive flexibility before, right after, and six weeks following the program to see if any improvements occur and persist.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Life Kinetik-based psychoeducation program (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could offer a practical, non-drug way to enhance cognitive flexibility in young adults, potentially improving adaptability and problem-solving skills.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with self-reported outcomes, so results may not generalize. The program's benefits, if any, might not last beyond the follow-up period.

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.

Who can take part

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

Ages

18 years and older
