NCT ID NCT01848392
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at why some adults with cystic fibrosis are more physically active than others, focusing on factors outside the lungs like nutrition, diabetes, bone health, and mood. Eighty stable adults will wear an activity monitor for a week and complete questionnaires. The goal is to find new ways to help people with CF stay active and improve their quality of life.
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 study could help identify which non-lung factors most influence physical activity in cystic fibrosis, guiding future supportive care strategies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to all people with CF. It does not test any treatment.
