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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study explores whether wearable devices can continuously monitor physiological signals, sleep, and physical activity in adolescents with chronic musculoskeletal pain. The goal is to develop objective digital measures of pain that could improve diagnosis and treatment. Researchers will assess the feasibility and acceptability of using these wearables in daily life, comparing the data with standard pain questionnaires.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Wearable digital health technology for continuous monitoring of physiological, sleep, and physical activity data
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to objective digital markers of pain, improving diagnosis and treatment monitoring for adolescents with chronic pain.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study, so it may not yield definitive clinical measures. Wearable data may not fully capture the complex pain experience, and results may not generalize beyond this specific group.
