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 trial tests a 6-week program called Ready for Recovery that helps people prepare for aortic aneurysm surgery. The program includes education, healthy habits, stress reduction, and social support. Ten adults having elective surgery will participate to see if the program is feasible and acceptable.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Ready for Recovery program (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a standard pre-surgery program that helps patients feel stronger and more prepared before aortic aneurysm repair.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early proof-of-concept trial with only 10 participants. It is designed to test feasibility, not effectiveness, so results may not apply broadly.

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