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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tested whether catching objects guided by a real drone or a virtual drone in mixed reality could improve eye-hand coordination and thinking skills in healthy adults aged 60 and older. Thirty-eight participants completed both real and virtual catching tasks, and researchers measured their brain activity, movement, and balance. The goal was to see which type of training might better support healthy aging and early prevention of cognitive decline.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
drone-catching exercise
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward engaging, technology-assisted exercises to help older adults maintain coordination and thinking skills as they age.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 38 healthy adults, so results may not apply to everyone. It compares two training methods but does not test long-term benefits or disease prevention.
