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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This pilot study is testing whether a low-cost, portable driving simulator can help retrain driving skills in people who have had a stroke or who live with Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis. Participants will be randomly assigned to train on either the portable simulator or a larger, high-fidelity simulator. The study will compare how user-friendly each device is, how often simulator sickness occurs, and whether driving performance improves similarly with both.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Portable driving simulator (low-fidelity) versus high-fidelity fixed-base simulator
What this could lead to
If the portable simulator works as well as the high-fidelity one, it could make driving retraining more accessible and affordable for people with neurological conditions.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study, so results may not apply broadly. The portable simulator may not be as effective as the high-fidelity version, and simulator sickness could still occur.
