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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 study compares 6 months of group music activities versus circus activities in 200 infants (8-12 months old) with or without a family history of dyslexia. Researchers will measure language skills, brain responses to sounds, and social-emotional factors. The goal is to see if early music intervention can improve language development.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Music intervention (group music activities) and Circus intervention (group acrobatics/circus activities)
What this could lead to
If music activities help, this could point toward a simple, fun way to support language development in babies at risk for dyslexia.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with 200 infants, so results may not apply to all children. The effects may be small or not last long.

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Inclusion Criteria: * 8-12 months old at start of intervention (recruited between 0-11 months) * Born healthy and at term (gestational age at least 37 weeks and birth weight at least 2500 g) * Normal hearing at birth (evoked oto-acoustic emissions conducted to newborns routinely at the hospital) * At least one caregiver living with the child is native speaker of Finnish and speaks Finnish to the child * Risk group: At least one biological parent has developmental dyslexia according to a recent (\<5 years) diagnostic statement by a health care professional or according to a dyslexia test at study enrollment; symptoms have started in childhood Exclusion Criteria: * Medication affecting the central nervous system * Sensory deficits * Serious health conditions * No-risk group: Suspected dyslexia or developmental language disorder due to symptoms that have started in childhood in either of the biological parents; diagnosis of a developmental or language disorder (incl. dyslexia, developmental language disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder ADHD, attention-deficit disorder ADD) or neurological disorder in either of the biological parents * Risk group: Diagnosis of ADHD, ADD, or other not-language-related developmental disorder in either of the biological parents; in the dyslexic parent, brain trauma in childhood that may indicate a non-heritable cause for the reading deficit or individualized school curriculum that may indicate broader developmental deficits.
