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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 compares two ways of teaching nurses about Parkinson's disease: a PechaKucha presentation with 20 slides that auto-advance every 20 seconds, versus a traditional PowerPoint with flexible pacing. Seventy-two nurses are split into two groups, each receiving the same educational content in one of the two formats. Researchers measure Parkinson's disease knowledge and awareness before and right after the session to see if the presentation style makes a difference.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
PechaKucha presentation technique versus traditional PowerPoint presentation for Parkinson's disease education
What this could lead to
If PechaKucha proves more effective, nursing educators could adopt this fast-paced format to improve how nurses learn and retain complex disease information.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study with 72 nurses, so results may not apply broadly. The outcome depends on short-term knowledge tests, not real-world patient care.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

Started

Jan 2026

Finished

Apr 2026

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

Children (under 18), adults (18 to 64) and older adults (65 and over)

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.
