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
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

This study tested a new digital tool that turns balance exercises into a game for older adults. Forty participants tried the game-like version or a standard digital test. Researchers measured how reliable the scores were and how much people enjoyed it. The goal is to make balance checks more engaging and accessible in community settings.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Gamified Digital Balance Assessment (GDBA) device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a more enjoyable and motivating way for older adults to check their balance, potentially encouraging regular fall risk screening.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 participants. The gamified tool may not be more accurate than standard tests, and its appeal might not last over time.
