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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

Researchers compare two rehabilitation approaches for children with cerebral palsy and immature brain injury: virtual reality training and task-oriented circuit training. Both aim to improve upper limb sensorimotor function, pinch grip, and quality of life. Forty-four children aged 12 to 18 with spastic cerebral palsy participate in this randomized trial. The study measures pinch strength, upper limb function, and quality of life to see which approach works better.

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 rehabilitation and task-oriented circuit training
What this could lead to
If one approach works better, therapists could use it to help children with brain injury gain more use of their hands for daily tasks.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study of 44 children, so results may not apply to all children with brain injury. Both approaches are training programs, and any gains may depend on how consistently children practice.

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 44 people

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