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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study looked at whether the SNOO Smart Sleeper, which plays white noise and gently rocks, helps preterm infants sleep more peacefully and have better vital signs compared to a traditional bassinet. Twenty preterm infants in the NICU each spent two three-hour sessions sleeping in either the SNOO or a non-moving, quiet bassinet. Researchers monitored their sleep stages, heart rate, and oxygen levels to see if the SNOO made 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
SNOO Smart Sleeper (device that provides white noise and rocking motion)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple way to improve sleep and vital signs in preterm infants in the NICU.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study with only 20 infants, and the results may not apply to all preterm babies. The SNOO may not significantly improve sleep or vital signs.
