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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study compares a new ultrasonic cutting tool (piezosurgery) to standard saws and drills for jaw realignment surgery. The goal is to see if it reduces nerve damage and other complications. About 70 adults will take part, and their recovery will be tracked for one year.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Piezosurgery device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to fewer nerve problems and faster recovery for people undergoing jaw surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 70 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The benefits over conventional methods are still unproven.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 70 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Oct 2025

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Oct 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.
