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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tests a new brace that applies small, repeated forces to the wrist during sleep, aiming to relieve carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms. Researchers will compare it to a standard brace in 116 adults. The main goal is to see if the device reduces pain and improves hand function after 8 weeks.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
A brace with a built-in balloon that applies gentle, repeated pressure to the wrist during sleep.
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, non-surgical way to reduce pain and improve hand function for people with carpal tunnel syndrome.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early pilot study. The device may not provide meaningful relief, and results may not apply to everyone with carpal tunnel syndrome.
