What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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

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 tests a 6-week pre-surgery program for people aged 75 and older who need spine surgery. The program includes exercise, nutrition advice, managing other health conditions, and brain training. Researchers want to see if it helps patients become more independent after surgery compared to standard care. The trial will involve 248 participants across multiple hospitals in China.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Multimodal prehabilitation program (exercise, nutrition, comorbidity optimization, cognitive training)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to a standard pre-surgery program that helps elderly patients recover faster and with fewer complications after spine surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial (248 participants) testing a complex program. The results may not apply to all hospitals or patients, and the program may not show clear benefits over standard care.
