NCT ID NCT07340528

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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tests a new surgical method that uses a tiny camera (endoscope) to repair broken facial bones through small, hidden cuts instead of large incisions. The goal is to see if this approach works as well as standard surgery while reducing scarring and nerve damage. Thirty adults with certain types of facial fractures are taking part.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
endoscopic surgery
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a less invasive option for facial fracture repair with smaller scars and fewer complications.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 participants. The technique may not work for all fracture types and could have risks like nerve injury.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

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

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
