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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study uses a non-invasive light-based technique called near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) combined with EEG to measure blood flow changes in the brains of children aged 3 to 6 years during infantile epilepsy spasms. The goal is to better understand what happens in the brain before, during, and after these seizures. The research is purely observational and does not test any new treatment.

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 help doctors better understand what happens in the brain during infantile spasms, potentially improving diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational study with only 14 children, so results may not apply to all patients. It does not test a treatment, so it will not directly improve outcomes.
