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 Results may not be published yet.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 study tested whether adding a special balance-training device to standard rehab helps people who had a stroke at least six months ago. The device uses a platform that gives real-time visual feedback as the person shifts their weight. Thirty-six participants were split into two groups: one got standard rehab alone, the other got standard rehab plus 25 minutes of biofeedback training five days a week for eight weeks. Researchers measured balance, fall risk, daily independence, and emotional well-being before and after the program.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
biofeedback-based interactive posturographic balance training device
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could become a standard addition to stroke rehabilitation to improve balance and reduce falls.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 36 participants, so results may not apply to all stroke survivors. The device is not a cure and only targets symptom improvement.
