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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tests whether a single educational session about how pain works, given before coronary artery bypass surgery, can lessen chronic pain after the operation. Adults scheduled for elective bypass will either receive this pain neuroscience education plus routine care, or routine care alone. Researchers will compare pain intensity, pain-related thinking, and sensitivity to pressure at several points up to three months after surgery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Pain Neuroscience Education (a structured educational session about how pain works)
What this could lead to
If effective, a simple pre-surgery education session could become a low-cost way to reduce chronic pain and improve recovery for heart bypass patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small trial with a single education session, so effects may be modest or not last. Results may not apply to all bypass patients.
