What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 mobile app or an AI-supported video helps patients learn clean intermittent catheterization better than a standard brochure. About 99 adults who need to perform this procedure will be split into three groups: app training, AI video training, or brochure training. Researchers will measure how well patients follow the procedure, their confidence, difficulty, infection rates, and hospital visits.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
mobile application and artificial intelligence-supported educational video
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that digital tools improve patient education and outcomes for people learning clean intermittent catheterization.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 99 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It compares educational methods, not a medical treatment.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Participants

About 99 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Expected to finish

Apr 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

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.
