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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tests whether a 6-week program that combines a pedometer with phone or video coaching is practical for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. 24 participants will track their steps and set goals with an occupational therapist. The main goal is to see if people stick with the program, not to measure health improvements.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Physical Activity Chats after Stroke (PA-ChatS) - a behavioral program using a pedometer and phone/video coaching sessions
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a simple step-counting program is practical for stroke survivors, paving the way for larger studies on improving physical activity after stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a very small feasibility study (24 people) with no control group, so it cannot prove the program improves health. Results may not apply to all stroke survivors.
