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 Results may not be published yet.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
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

This study looked at whether spraying water on the skin can help burn survivors keep their body temperature down during exercise in hot conditions. Researchers compared core and skin temperature changes in 31 participants (burn survivors and healthy controls) while they exercised with and without water spray. The goal is to find simple ways to reduce heat stress and cardiovascular strain in people with healed burns.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Water spray (skin wetting)
What this could lead to
If effective, skin wetting could become a simple way to help burn survivors exercise safely in hot conditions.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 31 participants, so results may not apply to all burn survivors. The intervention is just water spray, not a new drug or therapy.
