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 Results may not be published yet.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 study tested whether a 3-month yoga program could reduce chromosomal damage in 203 stressed security guards. Participants were split into a yoga group and a control group. Researchers measured DNA changes and stress levels before and after the program. The goal was to see if yoga could help repair stress-related cell damage.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Yoga
What this could lead to
If yoga is shown to reduce chromosomal damage, it could point toward a simple, low-cost way to lower stress-related health risks.
What could go wrong
This is a small, non-randomized study in a specific group (Indian police). Results may not apply to others, and the effect on actual disease is unknown.
