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
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early This study
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 combining physical and mental exercises (dual-task training) in a virtual environment helps people recover after ACL knee surgery better than doing them separately. Only 2 people took part before the study was stopped early. Researchers measured changes in thinking speed, jumping ability, and motivation over 10 weeks of training.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Dual-task training (combined physical and cognitive exercises) and single-task training (separate physical and cognitive exercises)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward better rehabilitation strategies for people after ACL surgery, potentially improving both movement and thinking skills.
What could go wrong
This trial was terminated early with only 2 participants, so results are very limited and may not apply to others. The small size makes it hard to draw firm conclusions.
