NCT ID NCT05249998
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed trial tested a personalized program of physical activity, nutrition guidance, and education for 128 adults with Prader-Willi syndrome. Participants followed the program during a 5-week hospital stay, with the goal of stabilizing or reducing their body mass index (BMI) six months later. The study compared this new approach to standard care to see if it could help patients maintain healthier habits after returning home.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a care program combining adapted physical activity, nutrition, and therapeutic education
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could help adults with Prader-Willi syndrome maintain a healthier weight and improve their physical fitness and quality of life between hospital stays.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single completed trial with 128 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program requires significant support from family or caregivers, which may not be available for all patients.
