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
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early This study
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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looked at whether adding functional electrical stimulation (FES) to robotic hand therapy could improve arm movement in people who had a stroke within the past year. Researchers planned to compare two groups: one getting standard rehab plus robotic therapy and FES, and another getting only standard rehab plus robotic therapy. However, the trial was terminated early, so we don't have enough data to know if the combination works better.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) and hand robotic-assisted therapy (AMADEO robot)
What this could lead to
If it had succeeded, this could point toward a more effective rehab approach for improving arm movement after stroke.
What could go wrong
The trial was terminated early, so we don't have clear results. It was also a small, early-stage study, so even if completed, findings might not apply to all stroke patients.
