Stress study scrapped before it began: no volunteers enrolled
NCT ID NCT04100213
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study was designed to track stress in real time by measuring things like heart rate, sweat, and temperature, along with how people feel. It planned to include both healthy volunteers and people with psychiatric disorders to find better ways to diagnose stress-related problems. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
