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 Results may not be published yet.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

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.

Summary

This trial tests whether listening to white noise during a gastroscopy, a procedure that examines the stomach with a scope, can lower the body's stress response. Researchers will randomly assign 100 adults to either hear white noise through headphones or receive routine care. They will measure stress by checking saliva cortisol levels and vital signs like blood pressure before and after the procedure. If white noise reduces these stress markers, it could offer a simple, non-drug way to help patients feel calmer during medical procedures.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
White noise delivered through headphones during gastroscopy
What this could lead to
If white noise reduces stress during gastroscopy, it could offer a simple, drug-free way to ease anxiety in medical procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early trial, and the effect may be modest or not appear at all. White noise might not suit everyone, and it does not replace standard care.
