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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

This study tests whether giving stroke patients real-time feedback on muscle activity—either through a visual display or sounds—can improve balance, walking, and daily independence when added to standard physical therapy. The trial enrolls adults aged 20-30 who have had a hemiplegic stroke and are medically stable. Over three weeks, participants receive 20-minute biofeedback sessions five times a week, and researchers measure changes in balance, mobility, and motor function.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Electromyography (EMG) biofeedback delivered visually or audibly during physiotherapy
What this could lead to
If one feedback type proves superior, it could refine stroke rehabilitation protocols to better restore balance and mobility.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with 84 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The improvements may be modest and not translate to real-world independence.

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 84 people

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

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age between 20 and 30 years * Male or female participants * Clinically diagnosed hemiplegic stroke. * Medically stable and able to participate in rehabilitation. * No visual impairment that would interfere with visual biofeedback. * No hearing impairment that would interfere with auditory biofeedback. * No sensory aphasia affecting the ability to understand study instructions. Exclusion Criteria: * Traumatic injury or lesion affecting the lower extremities * Lower-limb amputation * Severe systemic disease that could interfere with participation * Peripheral vascular disease affecting the lower extremities * Fixed ankle contracture * Motion sickness or intolerance to rehabilitation technology
