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 Results may not be published yet.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
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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether a tai ji quan (a gentle exercise) program, done remotely at home, can reduce falls in older adults at high risk. Researchers will compare it to a standard exercise program involving balance and strength training. 620 people aged 65-90 who have fallen before or have trouble walking will participate. The goal is to see if tai ji quan is more effective at preventing falls and improving physical function.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Virtual tai ji quan: moving for better balance intervention (V-TJQMBB)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide an effective, home-based exercise program to prevent falls in older adults, reducing injuries and improving independence.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention study, not a drug trial. Results may vary based on participant adherence, and the remote format may not suit everyone. The study is still recruiting, so outcomes are uncertain.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 620 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Sep 2023

Expected to finish

Mar 2029

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

65 to 90 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.
