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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tests whether a soft robotic glove called Carbonhand can help people with hand weakness from injury or nerve conditions perform daily activities at home. Five participants will use the glove for six weeks while researchers measure arm activity, grip strength, and well-being. It is a very small early study focused on understanding real-world use.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Carbonhand soft-robotic glove
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a practical tool to help people with hand weakness perform everyday activities more easily.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study with only 5 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The glove may not provide meaningful benefit or may be inconvenient for daily use.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age between 18 and 90 years * Experience difficulties in performing ADL due to hand function limitations as a result of trauma-related injury or neurologic disorder * Being in a chronic/stable phase of disease as judged by their physician * Able to activate the soft-robotic glove by generating pressure on finger/palm sensors when grasping an object * Ability to relax an active grip * Sufficient cognitive status to understand two-step instructions * Having (corrected to) normal vision * Able to provide written informed consent * Living independently Exclusion Criteria: * Severe sensory problems of the most-affected hand * Severe acute pain of the most-affected hand * Wounds on the hands that can provide a problem when using the glove * Severe contractures limiting passive range of motion to the extent that the glove can't be donned/activated comfortably * Co-morbidities limiting functional use/performance of the arms and/or hands * Severe spasticity of the hand (≥2 points on Ashworth Scale) * Severe proximal weakness (MRC shoulder elevation\<4) * Used the Carbonhand system in the past 3 months * Participation in other studies that can affect functional performance of the arm/hand * Receiving arm-/hand function therapy during the course of the study * Insufficient digital literacy to conduct video calls * Insufficient knowledge of the Dutch or English language to understand the purpose or methods of the study
