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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

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

Summary

This study tests whether guided imagery (a relaxation technique) and AI-generated videos can reduce pain during uterine involution checks—the process where the uterus shrinks back after birth. About 150 new mothers who had a vaginal delivery will be randomly assigned to listen to a guided imagery audio, watch an AI-powered video, or receive standard care. Their pain and vital signs will be measured to see if these non-drug methods help.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
guided imagery and AI-assisted video
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer new mothers a safe, non-drug way to ease pain during postpartum checks.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial (150 participants) testing a technique, not a treatment. Results may not apply to all women, and the effect on pain might be minimal.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Study facts

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 150 people

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

Expected to start

Feb 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

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.
