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.

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 study looks at how having a structured, values-based conversation affects people's decisions about diagnostic imaging tests for common musculoskeletal conditions like arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and tendon problems. About 220 adults from a specialty clinic will read a hypothetical scenario and either take part in a guided discussion or receive brief written information. They will then answer surveys about their enthusiasm and confidence in the test decision. No actual medical tests are involved.

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 doctors better support patients in making informed choices about diagnostic imaging tests.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study using hypothetical scenarios, not real medical tests. Results may not apply to actual clinical decisions.

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 220 people

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

Expected to start

Sep 2025

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Mar 2026

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.

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.
