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

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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

Researchers at Cairo University are studying whether a computer-based cognitive test called Rehacom gives similar answers to the traditional Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children. About 150 typically developing children aged 9 to 11 take both assessments. The team checks how closely Rehacom's logical reasoning, word memory, and visual field scores track with total Wechsler scores.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Rehacom computerized cognitive assessment
What this could lead to
If the two tools line up, schools and clinics could use a faster computer-based test to check children's thinking skills. That may make cognitive screening easier to run at scale.
What could go wrong
This is a small correlation study in healthy children, so it cannot prove one test is better than the other. A computer test may also miss subtle thinking problems that a trained psychologist catches in person.
