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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study compares two supervised exercise programs—neuromuscular training (focusing on balance and coordination) and resistance training (using weights and bands)—in 40 adults with chronic heart failure. Over 10 weeks, researchers will measure how far participants can walk, their heart and lung fitness, and lower body strength. The goal is to identify the more effective rehabilitation approach to improve daily function and quality of life.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
exercise training (neuromuscular or resistance)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show which type of exercise is better for helping heart failure patients walk farther, breathe easier, and feel stronger in daily life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 people, so results may not apply to all heart failure patients. Exercise programs also require ongoing commitment to maintain benefits.

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 40 people

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

Expected to start

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Jul 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor
