What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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

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 whether applying gentle vibration to the bottom of the foot can improve walking speed and balance in people who have had a stroke. Fifty-eight participants will be randomly assigned to receive either real vibration or a placebo (no vibration) for 30 minutes a day over three days. Researchers will measure changes in gait speed and dynamic balance using standard walking tests.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
plantar vibration
What this could lead to
If it works, this simple, non-invasive technique could offer a new way to help stroke survivors walk faster and keep their balance better.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 58 people. The vibration is applied for just 3 days, so any benefits may be short-lived or not apply to all stroke survivors.
