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 Results may not be published yet.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
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 Stanford study has two goals: find blood markers that show when the body is stressed by heat, and test two simple cooling tools—a hand-cooling table and a cold bandana. Thirty healthy adults will exercise in a hot lab setting to mimic real-world conditions. The results could help protect workers and athletes from heat-related harm.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
hand cooling table and cooling bandana
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better ways to monitor and prevent heat-related illness in workers and athletes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage lab study with only 30 healthy participants, so results may not apply to real-world conditions or vulnerable populations.

Participants

About 30 people

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

Expected to start

Jun 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish
