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 This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tests whether structured video consultations, covering exercise, nutrition, and home care, can help reverse frailty in people aged 60 and older after they leave the hospital. Participants receive three teleconsultation sessions over 12 weeks, plus standard follow-up visits. Researchers measure changes in frailty scores, hand grip strength, and blood markers like interleukin-6 and albumin to see if the program improves health behavior and frailty status.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
structured teleconsultation (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a practical, home-based way to reverse frailty in older adults after a hospital stay, improving their strength and independence.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial (116 participants) testing a behavioral intervention, so results may not apply broadly. Frailty is complex and may not reverse with teleconsultation alone.
