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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study looks at infants with a birth-related nerve injury called neonatal brachial plexus palsy, which can weaken the arm and sometimes cause the shoulder joint to slip out of place. Researchers will use ultrasound to measure the shoulder joint and compare those images with a physical exam to see which clinical signs best predict shoulder problems. The goal is to help doctors detect these issues earlier so treatment can begin sooner.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Shoulder ultrasonography and standardized clinical examination
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors spot shoulder joint problems earlier in infants with brachial plexus palsy, allowing treatment to start sooner and potentially preventing long-term disability.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study, so the findings may not apply to all infants. Ultrasound measurements can vary, and the study does not test a treatment, so it may not directly improve outcomes.
