What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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
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 whether practicing a precise manual task—placing colored beads with tweezers after solving math problems—can improve how healthy young adults process language. Forty right-handed participants aged 19-24 will be split into two groups: one doing the context-specific bead task, the other a simpler task. Both groups will train for 20 minutes a day, five days a week, for two weeks, and their language and fine motor skills will be measured before and after.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Context-specific fine motor skills training (bead placement with tweezers after math calculations)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward new ways to boost language skills through motor training.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage study in healthy people, so results may not apply to patients or real-world settings. The effect on language may be minimal or absent.

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

About 40 people

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

Started

Nov 2025

Expected to finish

Dec 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

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.

Ages

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.
