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 Results may not be published yet.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.
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tests whether giving patients electrical muscle stimulation and high-protein shakes soon after a type of stroke (aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage) can prevent muscle loss and improve recovery. Thirty adults will receive the combo therapy or standard care. The main goal is to see if muscle thickness changes, measured by ultrasound.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation and high-protein whey shakes
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, early intervention to reduce muscle wasting and improve recovery after a severe brain bleed.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The interventions are supportive and not expected to change the brain injury itself.
