Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Psychological Stress on its own pages , computed from the registry mirror as of 2026-08-08. Each line carries its own denominator so it can be quoted as it stands.

  1. Psychological Stress is recruiting below its size-band peers.

    5 of 14 indexed trials (35.7%) are open to enrollment, against a 46.5% average across 27,806 conditions with fewer than 20 trials. The peer set uses the same ClinicalTrials.gov-derived counts as this page.

  2. Sponsorship of Psychological Stress trials is spread across many organizations.

    University of Pittsburgh accounts for 2 of 14 trials (14.3%). 13 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Psychological Stress enrolment sits around 190 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 190 among the 14 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 4 of those (28.6%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Psychological Stress research is mostly interventional.

    12 interventional and 2 observational studies make up this index (85.7% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
