Interventions to Improve Daily Activity in Heart Failure
NCT02331524 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
There are few studies that demonstrate how to best improve daily activity in people with heart failure (HF). Exercise alone has been shown to be ineffective, but other techniques such as daily activity feedback with encouragement or health coaching may be helpful. This research study will investigate two different treatment approaches for improving daily activity: 1) daily activity feedback and encouragement, and 2) health coaching with an individualized home exercise program. Both treatment approaches are hypothesized to result in improved daily activity compared to a control group.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT02331524
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT02331524 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 16 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Grand Valley State University, which has 33 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Heart Failure appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Activity Feedback and Encouragement is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT02331524 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Michigan. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
