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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study compares two rehabilitation approaches—virtual reality exercises and motor-cognitive dual-task training—in 14 children aged 7-14 with brachial plexus birth injury, a condition where arm nerves are damaged during birth. Each child will do their assigned program for 12 weeks, followed by a 9-month home program. Researchers will use brain scans (fMRI) and movement tests to see which approach better improves arm function and brain adaptation.

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 exercises and motor-cognitive dual-task exercises
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward better rehabilitation strategies that improve arm movement and brain adaptation in children with brachial plexus birth injury.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study with only 14 children, so results may not apply to everyone. It compares two active treatments without a placebo, and long-term benefits are uncertain.
