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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 looks at whether people who have paralysis on one side after a stroke also have hidden nerve problems in their arms or legs. Researchers will use nerve tests and movement assessments to see how common these nerve issues are and whether they relate to how well a person can move and function. The goal is to better understand the role of peripheral nerves in stroke recovery.

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 nerve problems are found to be common, this could point toward adding nerve tests to stroke rehab to improve recovery plans.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center observational study, so findings may not apply to all stroke patients. It does not test any treatment.

Adults with unilateral hemiplegia secondary to ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke who were recruited from the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at a single tertiary care center. All participants underwent standardized nerve conduction studies and clinical assessments according to the study protocol.

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 of age). * Unilateral hemiplegia secondary to ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, or intracranial hemorrhage. * Ability to undergo standardized nerve conduction studies and clinical assessments. * Provision of written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Bilateral hemiplegia. * Hemiplegia secondary to benign or malignant intracranial tumors. * Upper or lower extremity fracture, amputation, skin lesions preventing electrophysiological testing, or diagnosed peripheral vascular disease. * Concomitant neurological disorders that may affect motor function or peripheral nerve conduction (e.g., Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, encephalitis). * Contraindications to nerve conduction studies (e.g., cardiac pacemaker or inability to safely undergo the examination). * Inability to cooperate with or tolerate nerve conduction studies.
