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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 a gamified teaching method—using team challenges, points, and digital badges—helps neurology residents learn and remember more than traditional lectures. About 240 residents will try both formats, wearing wristbands that track stress and attention. Researchers will compare test scores and decision-making efficiency to see if the game-based approach works better.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
gamified teaching platform (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that game-based learning helps doctors remember more and make better decisions, potentially improving medical education.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage educational study, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to other settings or prove long-term benefits.

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

About 240 people

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

Started

Jan 2026

Expected to finish

Aug 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

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Currently enrolled in postgraduate year 1 (PGY1), PGY2, or PGY3 of an accredited neurology residency program * No prior formal participation in structured gamified neurology teaching programs focused on clinical reasoning * Able to attend all eight scheduled grand rounds sessions across both study periods and all assessments (baseline, post-session, washout, and 3-month follow-up) * Willing to provide written informed consent and comply with all study procedures, including wearing the Empatica E4 wristband during teaching sessions Exclusion Criteria: * Scheduled off-service rotations, vacation, or other commitments that would prevent attendance at any study session or assessment * Uncorrected severe visual or auditory impairment that would limit participation in multimedia-based gamified sessions or case presentations * History of skin conditions or allergies that would preclude wearing the Empatica E4 wristband (e.g., contact dermatitis) * Inability to provide informed consent (e.g., cognitive impairment or language barrier)
