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 Results may not be published yet.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

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 tests a computer-based word retrieval practice for people with aphasia, a language disorder often caused by stroke. Twenty adults who have trouble finding words will practice naming pictures with feedback. The goal is to see if this practice can improve word retrieval and comprehension, and to learn how to make such treatments more effective.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
criterion-learning practice (computer-based word retrieval exercises)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a self-administered word-retrieval treatment that supplements speech therapy for people with aphasia.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 20 participants. It focuses on understanding how practice works, not on proving a treatment is effective. Results may not apply to all people with aphasia.
