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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

This study tested whether an augmented reality (AR) training module helps medical and midwifery students perform better in simulated vaginal births. 389 students from Chile and Colombia were randomly assigned to either standard text/video preparation or the same plus an AR module. After training, all students completed a simulated birth, and their skills were scored by blinded evaluators. The goal was to see if AR could improve early competency in this critical skill.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Augmented reality training module
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a scalable, low-cost way to improve hands-on training for medical students learning vaginal birth procedures.
What could go wrong
This is an educational study, not a clinical treatment trial. Results may not translate to real-world birth outcomes or apply to all training settings.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 to 65 years

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.
