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 This study
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

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

Researchers want to understand what concerns trauma patients most right after an injury. The study enrolls 300 adults who arrive at the emergency department with an acute injury and are stable enough to take part. Participants fill out a questionnaire about their stress, pain, and worries, including fears about surgery, family, children, work, and money. Hospitalized patients answer a second questionnaire about a day later.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a questionnaire and physical exam
What this could lead to
If researchers learn which concerns weigh most on trauma patients, emergency teams could tailor information and support to address those worries sooner.
What could go wrong
This is an observational survey with no treatment, so it cannot prove that addressing any specific concern improves outcomes. Patients in severe distress may not complete questionnaires, which could skew the picture.
