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 Results may not be published yet.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.
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 pilot study explores whether a wireless, wearable acoustic monitor can safely and effectively record bowel sounds in healthy newborns. Ten full-term infants will wear abdominal sensors for a single 4-hour session during routine postnatal care. Researchers will assess how well the device works and analyze the sounds to understand gut activity and its link to feeding and caregiving. The goal is to lay the groundwork for a non-invasive tool to monitor infant digestive health.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
A wireless acoustic monitoring system with wearable abdominal sensors
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a non-invasive way to monitor newborn gut health and detect digestive issues early.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 10 infants, so results may not apply broadly. The sensors may not capture clear data due to movement or noise.
