What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 looks at how the brain learns to control sound by having patients play a theremin-like instrument during awake brain surgery. Researchers will record brain activity directly from the surface of the brain to understand sensorimotor learning. The study involves 50 people with epilepsy or brain tumors who are already scheduled for surgery. This is not a treatment but aims to gather knowledge about brain function.

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 our understanding of how the brain learns fine motor skills, potentially aiding rehabilitation after brain injury.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational study focused on brain activity recording, not a treatment. Results may not directly translate to therapies.

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