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 Results may not be published yet.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
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 tests a special exercise program called TURN-IT for people with Parkinson's disease who have fallen in the past year. The program focuses on improving turning ability through targeted exercises. 55 participants will either do the program or continue usual care, and researchers will measure changes in turning quality and fear of falling.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
TURN-IT exercise program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple exercise program to help people with Parkinson's turn more easily and fall less.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 55 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The program requires supervised sessions, which may be hard to maintain long-term.
