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 Results may not be published yet.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

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 looked at how stroke survivors respond to robot-assisted therapy compared to traditional occupational therapy. Thirty people who had a stroke within the past three months tried both types of therapy in single sessions. Researchers measured how many arm movements they made, their pain levels, and how satisfied both patients and therapists were with each approach.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Robot-assisted therapy device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that robot-assisted therapy is as satisfying and effective as standard therapy, potentially offering a new option for stroke rehabilitation.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all stroke survivors. It only looked at one session, not long-term recovery.
