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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 looked at whether a portable brain scanner called fNIRS can safely and effectively measure brain activity in people with chronic traumatic brain injury while they walk on a treadmill with virtual reality. Eight participants completed the session, and researchers checked for falls, data quality, and how acceptable the experience felt. The goal was not to treat the injury but to see if this method is feasible for future research.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Motek C-Mill™ treadmill with virtual reality
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that fNIRS is a practical way to study brain activity during movement, potentially guiding future rehabilitation approaches for TBI.
What could go wrong
This is a very small feasibility study with only 8 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The main goal is just to see if the method works, not to test a treatment.
