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 Results may not be published yet.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 looked at whether having a supervisor guide breathing exercises helps heart bypass patients recover lung function better than doing them alone. Thirty-eight adults who had coronary artery bypass surgery did incentive spirometry (a breathing device) twice daily for three days, either with a coach or on their own. Researchers measured lung function before and after to see which group improved more.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
incentive spirometry (a breathing exercise device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that supervised breathing exercises help patients recover lung function faster after heart bypass surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 38 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The short 3-day follow-up limits conclusions about long-term benefits.

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.
