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 Results may not be published yet.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.
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 tested whether combining balance exercises with mental tasks (like naming animals) can improve balance and mild memory problems in people with diabetic nerve damage. Fifty adults aged 50 and older with type 2 diabetes and mild cognitive issues took part in 24 sessions over 8 weeks. The goal was to see if this dual-task training works better than standard balance exercises alone.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Turning based dual task training (a procedure involving balance exercises combined with cognitive tasks)
What this could lead to
If it works, this training could help people with diabetic nerve damage improve their balance and thinking skills, reducing falls and boosting independence.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The training requires multiple sessions and may not work for those with severe complications.
