What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tracks how a touch signal on the finger travels through the nervous system to the brain. Researchers will apply different force levels to the finger and measure when people first feel it, along with brain activity using fMRI. The study includes 60 people: young adults, stroke survivors, and similar-aged healthy adults. The goal is to understand how stroke affects touch perception.

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 help scientists understand how touch perception changes after a stroke, potentially guiding future rehabilitation strategies.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with no treatment being tested. It is small (60 participants) and early-stage, so findings may not apply broadly.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

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.

Participants

About 60 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Feb 2024

Expected to finish

Jul 2028

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Inclusion Criteria: -right-hand dominance for participants who are neurotypical For Aim 1: -age range of 18-23 For Aim 2: * participants who are neurotypical will be a similar age to the participants with stroke * participants who are neurotypical will have no musculoskeletal and neurological conditions * participants with stroke will have a single stroke incident resulting in a unilateral lesion (ischemic and hemorrhagic) * participants with stroke will be in the chronic phase (\>1 year from stroke onset) * participants with stroke will have an onset of stroke after the age of 18 * participants with stroke who meet the criteria of having the capacity to provide informed consent, regardless of aphasia Exclusion Criteria: * minors * pregnant women * prisoners * adults not capable of consenting on their own behalf. For Aim 2: * participants with stroke who have used antispastic injections in the past six months * participants with stroke who have a lesion in the brainstem and/or cerebellum * participants with stroke who have a stroke arising due to brain surgery * participants with stroke who have hemineglect
