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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tests whether adding Hunova® robotic rehabilitation to standard therapy improves trunk control in people with spinal cord injuries. 78 participants will receive either standard rehab alone or standard rehab plus Hunova® sessions. The goal is to see if the robotic device helps patients better control their trunk while sitting and respond to balance challenges.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Hunova® robotic rehabilitation device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a more effective rehab approach to help people with spinal cord injuries regain trunk control and improve daily activities.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with only 78 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device is an add-on to standard rehab, and its added benefit is still uncertain.
