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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tested whether a device called FITLIGHT, which uses flashing lights to train reaction time, could help athletes perform better in hopping and cutting movements. Eight healthy adults did a 30-minute cognitive training session with the device. The goal was to see if the training improved their reaction time and accuracy during physical tasks. However, the study was terminated early, so the findings are limited.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
FITLIGHT cognitive training device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple brain-training tool to help athletes react faster and move better during sports.
What could go wrong
This was a very small, early study (only 8 participants) that was terminated early, so results may not be reliable or apply to most athletes.

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

8 people

The number who actually took part.

Started

Feb 2025

Finished

Sep 2025

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

18 to 25 years

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

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