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
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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 a six-week program of functional respiratory muscle training (breathing exercises using a device) can improve balance, physical function, and certain blood markers in healthy adults over 65. Forty participants will be randomly assigned to either the breathing training group or a control group doing only balance exercises. The goal is to see if strengthening the breathing muscles has broader benefits for mobility and stability in aging.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Functional respiratory muscle training using a Powerbreathe device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple breathing exercise to help older adults maintain balance and physical function.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage trial in healthy volunteers, not patients. Results may not apply to frail or unwell elderly, and the training may not produce meaningful benefits.
