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 Results may not be published yet.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

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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 investigates whether sarcopenia—age-related muscle loss—is common in older adults during the acute phase of ischemic stroke and whether it influences recovery. Researchers will assess muscle mass and function in 400 patients aged 50 and older within 72 hours of stroke onset, then track their functional outcomes at 14 and 90 days. The goal is to understand if early muscle loss is linked to worse disability, complications, or mortality, which could inform future rehabilitation strategies.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If muscle loss is found to predict worse recovery, this could lead to early screening and targeted rehabilitation to improve stroke outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all stroke patients, and the follow-up period is limited to three months.
