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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This trial tests whether immersive virtual reality can teach cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) as effectively as the traditional manikin-based method. About 129 undergraduate medical students will receive CPR training using either virtual reality or a manikin. Researchers will measure students' CPR knowledge, practical skills, and satisfaction with the training method.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Immersive virtual reality CPR training and manikin-based simulation
What this could lead to
If virtual reality works as well as manikins, it could offer a flexible and engaging way to train medical students in CPR.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center study with a modest number of participants, and results may not apply to other training settings. Virtual reality may not fully replicate the hands-on feel of a manikin.
