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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tests whether combining non-invasive brain and spinal cord stimulation during a movement task can improve hand function and thinking in people with stroke or spinal cord injury. 45 participants will receive both types of stimulation separately and together to see if they work better as a pair. The goal is to understand how these techniques might help recovery, not to provide a treatment yet.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
tDCS (transcranial Direct Current Stimulation) and tSCS (transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a new rehabilitation approach that combines brain and spinal stimulation to improve recovery after neurological injuries.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-phase study (45 people) testing immediate effects only. It may not translate to long-term benefits or work for all types of injuries.
