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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

Researchers are testing whether a cardiac rehabilitation education video helps people with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) such as pacemakers and defibrillators increase their physical activity. The trial enrolls adults aged 20 to 100 who have had a CIED for at least 30 days without complications. Participants are randomly assigned to either watch the cardiac rehabilitation education video or a general health education video, and researchers measure daily physical activity using the device itself and a questionnaire.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a cardiac rehabilitation health education video
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to help people with pacemakers and similar heart devices move more and improve their heart health.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study, so the results may not apply broadly. Watching a video may not be enough to change long-term habits, and the trial may not show a clear benefit.
