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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tested whether combining a brain-training app (Lumosity) with stationary bike exercise could improve thinking skills and quality of life in people who had a stroke. Twenty-two adults with mild to moderate cognitive problems after a stroke took part. The experimental group used the app and exercised for 40 minutes, three times a week for six weeks, while the control group did only exercise and mental tasks. The goal was to see if the app-plus-exercise combo led to better memory, attention, and daily functioning.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Lumosity mobile app cognitive training and stationary bicycle aerobic exercise
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, at-home way to boost mental function and daily life after a stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, completed trial with only 22 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The improvements seen might be modest or not last long-term.
