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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tests whether a low-volume nose resistance breathing exercise using an Acapella device plus an incentive spirometer can improve lung function and reduce shortness of breath, cough, and phlegm in people with cervical spinal cord injuries. Forty-two inpatients aged 18–38 will be split into two groups: one doing the new breathing exercise and the other doing standard respiratory therapy, both for four weeks. Researchers will measure lung capacity, breathlessness, cough frequency, and sputum before and after treatment.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Acapella device plus Incentive Spirometry
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to improve breathing and reduce coughing and phlegm in people with cervical spinal cord injuries.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 42 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The improvement may be modest and not change long-term outcomes.
