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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

Researchers at Cambridge Health Alliance are testing whether natural language processing and deep learning can analyze interviews with patients in a 16-week online group therapy program for posttraumatic stress disorder. The study enrolls 33 people already in the program, which uses Internal Family Systems therapy. The goal is to see if computer models can identify the same psychological change mechanisms that human coders find, and whether those models perform as well as ones built from clinical surveys.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
natural language processing and deep learning analysis of patient interviews
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give therapists a faster way to spot what actually drives psychological change in trauma therapy, using patients' own words instead of only survey scores.
What could go wrong
This is a small study of 33 people in one therapy program, so the computer models may not match human judgment or may not generalize to other patients or other types of therapy.
