VA tests exercise program to stop falls in veterans with hidden artery issue

NCT ID NCT05436600

Summary

This study is testing whether a 12-week program of supervised aerobic and balance exercises can improve balance, mobility, and reduce fall risk in Veterans who have a moderate narrowing of their carotid artery but no symptoms. Researchers will compare the exercise program to standard medical care alone in 50 participants. They will also check if any improvements are linked to better blood flow to the brain.
