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 Results may not be published yet.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.
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

Summary

This study is translating and testing a Turkish version of the Hammersmith Neonatal Neurological Examination (HNNE) for high-risk infants, such as premature babies or those with birth complications. Researchers will check if the exam is reliable and valid for use in Turkey by comparing scores from 120 infants. The goal is to give doctors a better way to catch early signs of cerebral palsy and other developmental problems.

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 provide Turkish healthcare professionals with a reliable tool to detect neurological problems early in high-risk infants, potentially improving outcomes through timely intervention.
What could go wrong
This is an observational validation study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly improve health, and the tool may not predict long-term outcomes as hoped.
