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.

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 tested whether a special MRI technique called diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can map pelvic nerves as well as a standard 3D MRI. 20 adults having a pelvic MRI for any reason took part. The goal was to see if DTI gives a clearer picture of key nerves, which could help surgeons avoid injuring them during operations.

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 surgeons better see and protect pelvic nerves during operations, potentially reducing complications.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 20 people, so results may not apply widely. It is testing imaging methods, not a treatment.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
