What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Researchers at the University of Minnesota are developing a new scale to measure mental body representation—how people perceive and are aware of their bodies—in adults with spinal cord injury. The study involves 80 participants, including those with and without neuropathic pain, and aims to test the scale's reliability and validity. This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, and focuses on creating a better assessment tool for clinical use.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a reliable tool for clinicians to better understand and address body awareness issues in people with spinal cord injury.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage observational study with only 80 participants, so the scale may not be widely applicable or may need further refinement.

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