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

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 Results may not be published yet.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 tested whether a battery-powered bone marrow biopsy device (OnControl) causes less pain and takes less time than the traditional manual needle. Fifty adults who needed a bone marrow biopsy were randomly assigned to one of the two methods. Researchers measured pain levels reported by patients and the time needed to complete the procedure.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Powered bone marrow biopsy device (OnControl)
What this could lead to
If successful, this device could make bone marrow biopsies less painful and faster for patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 50 participants. Results may not apply to all patients or settings. The device may not significantly reduce pain for everyone.
