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 Results may not be published yet.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

People hospitalized in psychiatric units face a higher risk of falls because of medications, changes in attention, and balance or strength problems. This trial tests whether a supervised exercise program can improve physical function and lower that risk. Researchers will randomly assign 46 adults at moderate or high fall risk to either usual unit activities or a program of aerobic, strength, and balance exercises two to three times a week. They will measure balance, walking, lower-limb strength, and fall risk before and after.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a supervised exercise program combining aerobic, strength, and balance training
What this could lead to
If it works, structured exercise could become a standard part of psychiatric inpatient care to help patients stay steady on their feet and avoid falls.
What could go wrong
This is a small trial of 46 people in one hospital, so the results may not apply to other psychiatric units or to patients with different conditions. Some patients may not be able to complete the exercise program.
