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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks at whether elastic-band resistance training, with or without breathing exercises, can improve lung function and physical abilities in older adults with mild breathing problems. Seventy-five people aged 60 to 85 will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: resistance training plus breathing exercises, resistance training alone, or usual health advice. The program lasts 12 weeks, with supervised sessions three times a week. Researchers will measure lung function, leg strength, walking speed, and exercise tolerance at the start, at 6 weeks, and at 12 weeks.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
elastic-band resistance training and breathing training
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a simple, low-cost exercise program to help older adults breathe better and stay active.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 75 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercises are generally safe, but some participants may find them too challenging.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 75 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.
