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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tests whether adding sensory integration training—exercises that challenge the body's balance systems (vision, inner ear, and touch)—to standard balance exercises can improve standing balance in adults aged 60 and older who have a moderate risk of falls. Twenty-eight participants will be randomly assigned to either sensory-plus-conventional training or conventional training alone, three times a week for six weeks. Balance is measured before and after the program using standard clinical tests.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
sensory integration training combined with conventional balance training
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a more effective fall-prevention program for older adults.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 28 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The added benefit of sensory training over standard balance exercises remains uncertain.
