Accidental Fall clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Effect of Rhythm-based Multitask Training on Falls Among Older Adults

RYMA

Start date: February 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In this assessor-blinded, randomized, controlled trial our primary aim is to quantify the effects of a six-month rhythm-based multitask training (RYMA) intervention on fall rates collected over 12 months, compared to continuation of regular activity schedule, among community-dwelling older adults (≥70 years). This assessor-blinded, randomized, controlled trial aim is to quantify the effects of six-month rhythm-based multitask training (RYMA) on fall rates collected over 12 months, compared to continuation of regular activity schedule, among community-dwelling older adults (≥70 years). A sample size calculation estimates that 126 older community-dwelling older adults (≥70 years) are needed. Following baseline measures, the recruited participants will randomly be assigned to either the RYMA or the control group. The participants in the RYMA group will be assigned to a single weekly one-hour session for six months, while the control group will be encouraged to continue their regular activity schedule. Assessment of the primary outcome, fall rates, will be conducted continuously in 12 months from the beginning of training using monthly fall calendars. When a fall is reported in the fall calendar, a telephone interview will be conducted to assess circumstances and consequences (e.g. fall-related fractures, fall-related hospital admissions) of the falls. Moreover, assessment of physical, cognitive, and social-psychological surrogate outcomes will be made at baseline, six, and 12 months.
