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 Results may not be published yet.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 pilot study tested whether adding ergonomics training to the surgical curriculum helps OB/GYN residents learn safer body movements to prevent work-related injuries. 23 residents took a class on ergonomics and then practiced surgical skills on a model. Half received personalized feedback on their body positioning using an AI video tool, while the other half practiced without feedback. Researchers measured changes in knowledge and movement scores immediately and after two months to see if the training stuck.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
ergonomics education and guided practice
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a standard ergonomics curriculum for surgical residents, potentially reducing work-related injuries among surgeons.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 23 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It measures short-term learning and satisfaction, not actual injury reduction.
