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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 10 children aged 3 to 14 with absence epilepsy, a type of seizure that causes brief lapses in awareness. Researchers used two noninvasive tools—near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and electroencephalography (EEG)—to record brain activity and blood flow changes during seizures. The goal was to better understand what happens in the brain before, during, and after these episodes, without any treatment or intervention.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could improve understanding of how absence seizures affect brain metabolism, potentially guiding future monitoring or treatment approaches.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study with only 10 participants, so findings may not apply broadly. It does not test any treatment, so no direct benefit for patients.
