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 Results may not be published yet.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 explores whether exposure to artificial light that mimics natural sunlight can improve brain activity, heart rate regulation, and movement in people who have had a stroke. Thirty chronic stroke survivors will undergo light sessions while their brain waves and heart rhythms are recorded, and they will complete walking, balance, and thinking tests before and after. The goal is to see if this simple light therapy could support recovery of motor and cognitive function.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Artificial light simulating natural sunlight (CoeLux)
What this could lead to
If effective, this could offer a simple, non-invasive way to boost motor and cognitive recovery in chronic stroke survivors.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage study, so results may not apply broadly. Light exposure may have limited or temporary effects, and individual responses can vary.
