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

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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tested whether a short, 15-minute brain-training task (evaluative conditioning) could help heart attack survivors exercise at a higher intensity during cardiac rehab. Twenty-four patients were split into two groups: one received training linking physical activity with positive images, and the other received training about diet. The researchers measured the intensity patients chose on a stationary bike. The goal was to see if this simple mental exercise could encourage more vigorous activity, potentially improving heart recovery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
evaluative conditioning (a short brain-training task on a monitor)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to help heart patients exercise more intensely during rehab, potentially improving recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study with only 24 participants. The effect may be small or not last long, and results may not apply to all heart patients.
