Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tests whether making homes safer—like adding non-slip mats, night lights, and securing rugs—can reduce falls in people aged 60-80 who have fallen before or worry about falling. Researchers will track 320 participants over 12 months to see if these low-cost changes work and are worth scaling up.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Home environment assessment and modification (non-slip mats, night lights, anti-fall signs, double-sided tape) plus personalized advice
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a low-cost, scalable way to prevent falls in older adults living at home.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, single-city trial. Results may not apply to other regions or populations, and the effect may be modest.
