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 Results may not be published yet.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

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 trial compares two standard gas pressures used during laparoscopic appendectomy — 10 mmHg versus 15 mmHg — to see which leads to less pain and faster recovery. About 150 adults with uncomplicated appendicitis will be randomly assigned to one pressure level. Researchers will measure pain scores, surgery time, hospital stay length, and how quickly bowel function returns.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
laparoscopic appendectomy with either 10 mmHg or 15 mmHg pneumoperitoneum (gas pressure in the abdomen)
What this could lead to
If lower pressure works as well, it could mean less pain and faster recovery after appendix removal.
What could go wrong
Lower pressure might make surgery more difficult or increase complications. This is a single-center trial with 150 participants, so results may not apply broadly.
