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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 study tested a wearable device that gently vibrates to remind stroke survivors to do simple arm exercises during idle time, like tapping their wrist. The goal was to see if this approach is practical and helpful for reducing arm non-use in early recovery. 42 people in an inpatient rehab unit took part. The study measured how much more they moved their arm when cued, and how usable and motivating they found the system.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
behavioral intervention: wearable-device-cued idle-time arm exercises
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a low-cost, easy way to boost arm recovery after stroke without adding to therapist workload.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 42 participants, so results may not apply to all stroke survivors. The device and exercises are still experimental.

Study facts

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

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

Inclusion Criteria (General): The goal of this feasibility clinical trial is to assess the functional utility and subjective patient experience using a personal exercise cueing system designed to reduce learned non-use of the hemiparetic arm in the days, and weeks immediately following stroke. We therefore restrict inclusion to stroke survivors in the inpatient rehabilitation unit of Froedtert Memorial Hospital (Milwaukee, WI). Thus, candidate subjects will undergo screening by Dr. McGuire and his team prior to inclusion in the study. Stroke survivors shall have: * had a unilateral stroke within the last 30 days; * ability to give informed consent and be able to follow two-stage instructions; * a broad range of motor impairment as assessed using the upper extremity portion of the Fugl-Meyer Motor Assessment (i.e., UE-FM score \<= 50 out of a possible 66); * age ≥ 18 yr. of age. Exclusion Criteria (General) include: * Inability of subjects to give informed consent or follow two-stage instructions; * concurrent illness or severe pain limiting the capacity to conform to study requirements.
