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
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tests whether a smartphone-supported care program can improve health outcomes for stroke patients who have trouble swallowing. The program includes diet monitoring, doctor communication, and education. Researchers will compare 600 patients who receive this enhanced support to those getting usual care, tracking pneumonia rates and quality of life over one year.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
System-integrated technology-enabled model of care (behavioral intervention via mobile devices)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a practical, low-cost way to reduce pneumonia and improve quality of life for stroke survivors with swallowing difficulties.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention, not a drug or device, so effects may be modest. The trial hasn't started yet, and results depend on patient adherence and technology access.
