NCT ID NCT06745544
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a special exercise program that combines rhythm and multitasking (called RYMA) can reduce falls, fractures, and heart problems in people aged 65 and older with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Participants will be screened for fall risk, bone health, nerve function, and heart health, then assigned to either the exercise program or usual care. The goal is to see if this approach can lower fall rates by at least 30% and improve overall health over five years.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Rhythm- and Multitask-Based Activity (RYMA) exercise program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a practical, non-drug way to reduce falls and fractures in older adults with diabetes, and improve heart health.
What could go wrong
This is a single trial with 490 participants, and the exercise program is complex, which may make it hard for people to stick with. Results may not apply to everyone with diabetes.
