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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This pilot study tested whether adding virtual reality (VR) exercises to standard rehabilitation helps people who recently had a stroke recover their thinking skills and ability to do daily tasks. Thirty-six adults with acute stroke and mild cognitive impairment were assigned to either VR-enhanced rehab or standard therapy. The study measured changes in cognitive function and independence in daily activities.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
virtual reality-enhanced rehabilitation
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a more engaging way to boost cognitive recovery after a stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 36 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The VR tasks were fixed and not personalized, which might limit benefits.
