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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study used fMRI brain scans to understand how two brain regions—Broca's area and the mid-cingulate cortex—work together to control language. Twenty-three healthy, right-handed adults performed a learning task while their brain activity was measured. The goal is to learn how these areas support cognitive control of speech, which could eventually help design better therapies for people with language problems.

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 rehabilitation strategies for language disorders by targeting non-linguistic brain functions.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational study in healthy volunteers, so findings may not directly apply to patients with brain injuries or language impairments.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Study facts

Started

Jan 2015

Finished

May 2016

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.
