NCT ID NCT07819266

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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

Researchers are testing whether a rehabilitation program that combines mental tasks with balance exercises helps stroke survivors who have hemispatial neglect, a condition where the brain ignores one side of the body or space. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either cognitive postural training plus standard balance therapy or standard balance therapy alone, three times a week for four weeks. The trial measures changes in posture, balance, thinking, neglect, and daily independence to see whether adding cognitive challenges improves recovery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Cognitive postural training, a rehabilitation program that pairs thinking tasks with balance exercises
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give stroke rehabilitation teams a low-cost way to combine thinking and movement practice, helping survivors with neglect regain balance and independence.
What could go wrong
The trial is small and early, so any benefit may be modest or fade. Participants must already be at least six months past their stroke and have mild to moderate neglect, so results may not apply to everyone.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 42 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.
