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 Results may not be published yet.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 tests two simple, drug-free ways to improve sleep for adults in the intensive care unit: playing pink-brown noise to mask hospital sounds, or a quiet time protocol with earplugs and eye masks. Researchers will track sleep using a wrist-worn smartwatch in 18 patients. The goal is to see if these low-cost approaches can help ICU patients get better rest and support recovery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
pink-brown noise masking and quiet time protocol (behavioural interventions)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward simple, drug-free ways to help ICU patients sleep better and recover faster.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early trial with only 18 participants, so results may not apply to all ICU patients. The interventions are non-invasive but may not improve sleep for everyone.

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 18 people

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

Expected to start

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.
