What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This trial tests whether a multisensory brain-training method, called audiovisual entrainment neurofeedback, can help high school students reduce academic anxiety and improve creative thinking. Participants will use a wearable EEG headset and heart rate monitor during six sessions, receiving real-time feedback to encourage relaxed, focused brain states. The study compares this combined approach against neurofeedback alone, audiovisual entrainment alone, and a sham control to see which is most effective.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Audiovisual Entrainment Neurofeedback (AVE-NFB) using EEG and HRV biofeedback
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could offer a non-drug, brain-training method to help students manage test anxiety and enhance creative thinking.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage trial with a modest number of participants, and results may not generalize widely. The intervention requires multiple sessions and may not work for everyone.

Participants

About 240 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Sep 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Jan 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

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.
