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 Results may not be published yet.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 tested whether adding lateral stepping exercises to a regular group exercise class is feasible and helpful for people with middle to late-stage Parkinson's disease. Five participants did the exercises twice a week for 8 weeks. Researchers measured balance, fall risk, and quality of life to see if the program was practical and beneficial.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Lateral stepping exercises (hip abduction and lateral stepping with or without resistance bands)
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could be added to existing exercise classes to help people with Parkinson's improve balance and reduce falls.
What could go wrong
This is a very small feasibility study with only 5 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is too early to know if the program truly prevents falls.
