HOMEStudy: Development of a Home-based Self-delivered Prehabilitation Intervention to Proactively Reduce Fall Risk in Older Adults
NCT05583578 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Older adults often have difficulty performing complex walking tasks leading to increased fall incidence and subsequent injury. Even in the best clinical settings, it may not be possible for patients or clinicians to dedicate the time and financial resources needed to enact lasting improvements. The study will investigate the use of non-invasive brain stimulation and motor imagery practice within participants homes to assess study design feasibility and potential for mobility improvement.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05583578
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05583578 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 34 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Florida, which has 1,066 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Aging appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Sham tDCS 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: NCT05583578 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Florida. 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.
