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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tests whether a 4-week telerehabilitation program can improve balance and quality of life in 36 people with multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease. Participants do balance exercises at home while monitored by a hospital physiotherapist. The results are compared to standard care to see if remote therapy is effective.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
telerehabilitation (remote physiotherapy)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a convenient home-based therapy to improve balance and mobility for people with neurodegenerative diseases.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 36 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment is short (4 weeks) and long-term benefits are unknown.
