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 Results may not be published yet.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 completed study used ultrasound to look at the shape and structure of spastic muscles in the arms and legs of 80 stroke survivors. The goal was to see if ultrasound can help doctors better understand and measure muscle changes after stroke. The findings may improve how spasticity is assessed and guide future rehabilitation.

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 lead to better ways to assess muscle spasticity after stroke, helping guide rehabilitation and improve quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, observational study with no treatment being tested. The results may not apply to all stroke survivors, and the ultrasound method needs more validation.
