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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tests whether using a brain-computer interface (BCI) to control a walking robot can improve gait recovery after a stroke. People who had a stroke within the past year will be randomly assigned to either standard exoskeleton training or BCI-controlled exoskeleton training, both twice a week for four weeks. The goal is to see if letting the participant's own brain signals trigger each step leads to greater improvements in walking distance, mobility, and quality of life compared to traditional robot-assisted training.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Brain-computer interface (BCI)-controlled exoskeleton gait training
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could offer a more engaging and potentially more effective way to retrain walking after a stroke, possibly leading to better recovery outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, and the benefits over traditional training are not yet proven. The BCI system may be difficult for some participants to use, and results may not apply to all stroke survivors.

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.

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

30 to 80 years

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 30 to 80 years * Unilateral lower-limb weakness attributable to a stroke sustained within the previous year * Able to complete the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test at baseline * Able to follow training instructions * Provided written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Baseline Timed Up and Go (TUG) time of less than 20 seconds * Significant pain in the lower limbs * Prior lower-limb surgery * Neuromuscular disease affecting gait * Cardiopulmonary condition contraindicating gait training * Cognitive or cooperative deficits preventing the participant from following training instructions * Inability to perform the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test at baseline
