NCT ID NCT06869369

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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tests whether a pain neuroscience education program called PNE4Kids can improve physical activity, sleep quality, and pain understanding in healthy middle school students. About 84 children will be randomly assigned to receive the program or no intervention. Researchers will measure changes in activity levels, sleep habits, pain knowledge, and leisure participation before, right after, and three months after the training.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Pain neuroscience education program (PNE4Kids) delivered via PowerPoint and interactive games
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could help children better understand pain and adopt healthier behaviors, potentially reducing the risk of chronic pain later in life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study in healthy children, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is educational, so its impact on physical activity or sleep may be modest.
