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 Results may not be published yet.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
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 study looked at whether playing Mozart's piano sonata during a surgical simulation training session helps medical students improve their technical skills. 97 medical students from Quebec universities were randomly assigned to listen to music or not while practicing on a virtual reality simulator with an AI tutor. Researchers measured their skill acquisition and transfer, as well as emotions and mental workload, to see if music makes a difference.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Mozart music (listening to a piano sonata during simulation training)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that playing music during training helps surgeons learn skills faster and better, potentially improving patient safety.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with 97 medical students in a simulated setting. Real-world surgery may differ, and the effect of music might not translate to actual operating rooms.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

97 people

The number who actually took part.

Started

Aug 2025

Finished

Mar 2026

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Medical students who are actively enrolled in their preparatory, first, second year of medical school at any Quebec institution who do not fit the exclusion criteria. Exclusion Criteria: * Prior use of the NeuroVR (CAE Healthcare) simulator.
