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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study looked at whether a special balance training called protective step training can help people with Parkinson's disease react better to trips or pushes. Twelve participants completed the training, which involved standing and walking while being gently disturbed to test their balance. The goal was to see if this training could improve their walking and reduce fall risk.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
protective step training (perturbation training)
What this could lead to
If effective, this training could help reduce fall risk and improve walking balance in people with Parkinson's disease.
What could go wrong
This was a very small, early study with only 12 participants and no control group, so results may not apply widely. The training may not prevent falls in real-world settings.
