Elderly fall study pulled before it began
NCT ID NCT07608263
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aimed to see if problems with peripheral vision increase the risk of falls in people aged 70 and older. Researchers planned to compare vision and balance tests between those who had fallen recently and those who had not. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
