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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study aims to create a detailed atlas of the spinal cord's nerve tracts using advanced MRI scans in 49 healthy adults. By combining brain and spinal cord imaging, researchers hope to better distinguish sensory and motor pathways. The goal is to improve diagnosis and surgical planning for spinal cord conditions.

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 successful, this could provide a detailed map of spinal cord tracts, helping doctors better diagnose and plan surgeries for spinal cord injuries or diseases.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study with only 49 healthy volunteers, so results may not apply to people with spinal cord conditions. The technique may not work reliably in all cases.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
