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 Results may not be published yet.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 pilot trial tests whether a supervised progressive strength and balance exercise program can reduce falls in postmenopausal women aged 60 to 80 with osteoporosis. Participants are randomly assigned to either the supervised program or a standard home-based exercise routine and are followed for six months. The main goal is to see if fewer women fall in the supervised group, with secondary measures including fractures, balance, and strength.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Supervised progressive strength and balance exercise program
What this could lead to
If effective, this exercise program could become a standard, drug-free way to reduce fall risk and prevent fractures in older women with osteoporosis.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot trial with only 46 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The home-based phase relies on self-motivation, and adherence could vary.

Inclusion Criteria- Postmenopausal women aged 60 to 80 years. * Diagnosis of osteoporosis confirmed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, defined as a T-score \<= -2.5 at the lumbar spine, total hip, or femoral neck. * Ability to participate safely in an exercise program as judged by the investigators. * Ability to understand and follow study instructions. * Written informed consent provided before enrollment. * Clinical conditions that precluded safe participation in exercise. * Severe neurological disorders affecting independent mobility. * Severe musculoskeletal disorders affecting independent mobility. * Inability to follow instructions. * Any other condition judged by the investigators to interfere with the intervention or outcome assessment. Exclusion Criteria * Clinical conditions that precluded safe participation in exercise. * Severe neurological disorders affecting independent mobility. * Severe musculoskeletal disorders affecting independent mobility. * Inability to follow instructions. * Any other condition judged by the investigators to interfere with the intervention or outcome assessment.
