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 Results may not be published yet.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
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

Summary

This study is collecting information from 200 people with Parkinson's disease, dystonia, essential tremor, or other movement disorders who are scheduled to receive radiofrequency (RF) ablation—a procedure that uses heat to target small areas in the brain. The goal is to see how patients' quality of life changes over time after the treatment in everyday medical practice. The study does not test a new device; it simply observes outcomes with an already-approved system.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Radiofrequency ablation (a procedure using heat to target brain tissue)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could provide real-world evidence to refine how RF ablation is used for movement disorders, potentially improving patient outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove the treatment works better than alternatives. Results may vary widely across patients and centers.
