NCT ID NCT06522906
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This pilot study tests whether a culturally tailored program of muscle strengthening exercises and physical activity, delivered via video calls, can help Hispanics with knee osteoarthritis. Participants bring a family member or close friend for support. The study will measure how well people stick with the program and whether it improves symptoms. It is a small early-stage trial to gather data for a future larger study.
