RECRUITING NA

Improving Exercise Adherence With App Technology for At-Risk Adults Living in Rural Kansas and Nebraska

NCT07171255 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

Alzheimer's disease and related dementias are a public health crisis impacting individuals across the world. In the United States, adults living in rural areas face an elevated risk for cognitive impairment mainly due to disparities in care, higher sedentary behavior, and reduced education. This project proposes to assess the impact of a remotely delivered exercise program (i.e., RemoteEx+) through a smartphone application. The app is programmed by our team and provides video demonstrations of exercises, workout regimes, motivational messaging, and weekly ADRD risk reduction education. The project aims to assess with a pre/post design the following aims: * Aim 1. Assess the RemoteEx+ intervention exercise adherence, efficacy, enjoyment, and quality of life. We hypothesize that rural adults will report high exercise adherence (80% of session adherence), efficacy (\>50% on Self Efficacy for Exercise), and enjoyment (\>5.0 on Intrinsic Motivation Inventory - Interest / Enjoyment Subscale) and that these variables will be positively correlated with quality of life scores (36-Item Short Form Health Survey \[SF-36\]) * Aim 2. Determine the impact of a technology-driven exercise program on blood pressure and functional mobility associated with dementia risk. We hypothesize that the exercise program will result in improvements in blood pressure and functional mobility (2-minute step test and 30-second chair rise test) and that participants with high exercise adherence will see the greatest improvements in biomarkers associated with reduced dementia risk. * Aim 3. Reduce health disparities among rural-dwelling Nebraska and Kansas residents. We hypothesize that RemoteEx+ will reduce barriers to exercise (Barriers to Being Active Quiz and improve knowledge surrounding dementia and modifiable risk factors (Dementia Knowledge Assessment Tool - Version 2 \[DKAT2\]) that will result in fewer lifestyle-related health disparities for the communities involved in this study.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07171255

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07171255 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. 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 54 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Creighton University, which has 73 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 Sedentary Middle Age and Older Aged Adults appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which RemoteEx+ Programming 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: NCT07171255 reports 2 study locations spanning 2 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Kansas, Nebraska. 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.
