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 Results may not be published yet.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.
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

Summary

This pilot study tested whether an adapted version of cognitive stimulation therapy (CST) is acceptable and feasible for stroke survivors who are pre-frail. Ten stroke survivors and their carers took part in focus groups to share their experiences. The goal was to see if CST could be a useful part of a future multicomponent frailty intervention for stroke survivors.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Adapted cognitive stimulation therapy (CST)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could pave the way for a larger trial testing whether CST helps reverse pre-frailty in stroke survivors.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply widely. The therapy is adapted from dementia care and has not been tested in stroke populations before.
