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 Results may not be published yet.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.

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 study tests whether a special teaching method called '5T Teach-Back' helps patients learn breathing exercises and use a spirometer (a device that measures how well you breathe) before abdominal surgery. The goal is to see if this method improves patients' knowledge, skills, and breathing after surgery compared to standard verbal instructions. 76 adults will take part, and their results will be measured before and after surgery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
5T Teach-Back education method
What this could lead to
If effective, this method could become a standard way to teach patients breathing exercises before surgery, potentially reducing lung complications.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (76 people) testing an educational approach, not a drug or device. Results may not apply to all patients or hospitals.
