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 Results may not be published yet.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
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 trial tests whether gently abrading the skin before placing monitoring electrodes improves the quality of nerve signal readings during surgery. Adult patients scheduled for elective surgery will have one wrist prepared with a standard electrode application and the other with an additional gentle skin abrasion. Researchers will compare the signal strength and required stimulus levels between the two wrists to see if the simple prep makes a difference.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Gentle skin abrasion using 3M Red Dot Trace Prep abrasive strips before electrode placement
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to more reliable nerve monitoring during surgery, potentially improving patient safety and outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study. The improvement may be minimal or not clinically significant, and results may not apply to all patients or settings.
