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 Results may not be published yet.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 tests a motorized tilt table and lower-body pressure chamber designed to help military pilots train for and understand fainting and blood pooling. Forty-six pilots and cadets will be tilted and exposed to pressure changes while their heart rate, blood pressure, and brain oxygen levels are monitored. The goal is to find better ways to select and train pilots to withstand high-G forces.

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 system could improve pilot training and selection by identifying who is best suited to withstand high-G forces.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 46 participants, focused on healthy pilots. It is not testing a treatment, so results may not apply to patients with medical conditions.

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