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
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only

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 a 12-week program led by nursing and sports science students can improve frailty in older adults living in nursing homes. Sixty participants will be randomly assigned to either the program or usual care. The program includes physical exercise and occupational therapy sessions three times a week. The main goal is to see if the program is feasible and acceptable, with early signs of benefit.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
multidisciplinary intervention programme (physical exercise and occupational therapy)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show a low-cost way to reduce frailty and improve quality of life for older adults in nursing homes.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study, not a large trial. It may not prove the program works, and results may not apply to all nursing homes.

Aug 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.
