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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

Researchers are checking whether tests of muscle strength, walking, balance, and fine motor skills give consistent results in people with polyneuropathy. About 520 adults with various forms of nerve damage, plus healthy volunteers, take part. Participants complete physical tests, answer questionnaires, and wear an activity sensor for a week. The goal is to see if these tools can reliably measure how polyneuropathy affects daily life and to compare patients with healthy adults.

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 the measures prove reliable, doctors could use them to track nerve damage and test new treatments more accurately.
What could go wrong
This study only tests measurement tools, so it will not treat or cure polyneuropathy. Results may not apply to all types of nerve damage.
