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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study looked at how healthcare practitioners move their hands and fingers when inserting a peripheral IV catheter. Researchers measured the forces applied to the skin and veins, as well as the angle and speed of the needle. The goal was to gather data to design a more realistic training simulator for students. Thirty-one healthy adults took part, and the study is now complete.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a more realistic training simulator for healthcare students learning to insert catheters.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational study in healthy volunteers. The results may not translate to real-world clinical practice or improve patient outcomes.
