Home workouts aim to stop falls in blood cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07044427
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at why multiple myeloma patients fall and tests a personalized home exercise program to prevent falls. Sixty patients will do strength and balance exercises three times a week for six months, plus treadmill training. The goal is to see if the program is practical and reduces fear of falling.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Strength and balance training plus treadmill-based perturbation training
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a simple, home-based exercise program to reduce falls and improve quality of life for multiple myeloma patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study with only 60 participants. The exercise program may be too demanding for some patients, and results may not apply to all.
