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 Results may not be published yet.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

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 tested automatic lateralization therapy—a bed that gently rotates patients from side to side—in 10 critically ill adults on ventilators. The goal was to see if this therapy safely improves how air moves in the lungs. Researchers measured lung function and monitored for any side effects.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
automatic lateralization therapy (bed rotation)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a safer way to improve lung function in critically ill patients on ventilators.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to all ICU patients. The therapy may not show clear benefits or could cause side effects.
