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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published

Summary

This study tested whether adding a telerehabilitation program (using a mobile app, video calls, and online coaching) to standard CPAP therapy helps obese adults with severe sleep apnea. 180 participants were followed for 6 months to see if the program improved daytime sleepiness, quality of life, blood pressure, and inflammation. The goal is to see if technology can help people make lasting lifestyle changes alongside their breathing machine.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
telerehabilitation program (mobile app, teleconsultation, video conferencing with health professionals)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that adding a home-based rehab program to standard CPAP therapy helps people with sleep apnea feel less sleepy and have better heart health.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study, but results are not yet widely confirmed. The program requires patient motivation and access to technology, which may not work for everyone.
