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.

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

This trial tests whether a special audio system that plays binaural beats and calming music through headphones can help patients feel more relaxed during procedures to fix dialysis access problems. 100 adults with dysfunctional dialysis access will be randomly assigned to either listen to the audio or receive standard care. The goal is to see if this simple, non-drug approach improves the overall patient experience.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
neuromodulation auditory system (binaural beats and music via headphones)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help patients feel more relaxed and less stressed during dialysis-related procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 100 participants. The audio system is not commercially available, and results may not apply to all patients or procedures.
