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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tests whether adding an anti-gravity treadmill and high-intensity electromagnetic stimulation to standard physical therapy helps people recover walking and balance after a recent stroke. Participants are adults aged 18 to 74 who had a stroke and need help moving. They will be split into three groups: standard therapy alone, standard therapy plus the treadmill, or standard therapy plus both the treadmill and electromagnetic stimulation. The goal is to see which approach best improves mobility, reduces muscle stiffness, and is safe.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Anti-gravity treadmill and high-intensity electromagnetic stimulation
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a safer, more effective way to regain walking ability and reduce muscle stiffness after a stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with 105 participants. Results may not apply to all stroke survivors, and the added benefit of electromagnetic stimulation over treadmill alone is uncertain.
