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 Results may not be published yet.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

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

Summary

This trial tests whether a sensory rehabilitation program, guided by physiotherapists, can reduce nerve pain and improve balance in people with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). Participants are adults who finished chemotherapy more than three months ago and report neuropathy symptoms. The program uses questionnaires and physiotherapy practice to retrain sensory detection and movement. The study measures changes in pain, balance, and sensory function using several assessment tools.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Sensory rehabilitation physiotherapy program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-drug therapy to ease nerve pain and improve balance in people with chemotherapy-induced neuropathy.
What could go wrong
This is a very small trial with only 12 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The therapy may not reduce symptoms, and benefits could be modest.
