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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published

Summary

This study tested whether artificial intelligence (AI) could better predict fall risk in people with Parkinson's disease by analyzing walking tests under single and dual-task conditions. Thirty participants completed balance and mobility assessments while being recorded on video. The goal was to develop a more precise decision-support tool for early fall prevention.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a more accurate, AI-based tool for predicting falls in Parkinson's patients, enabling earlier and more personalized interventions.
What could go wrong
This was a small, completed study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all Parkinson's patients. The AI models need further validation in larger, diverse groups before clinical use.
