Study summary

Exercise and physical activity in adults with acquired brain injury

Read the detailed description

Although emerging approaches have emerged in the design of interventions that promote an orientation towards physical activity scientific evidence on their efficacy in this particular population remains limited. This underscores the need for further research to evaluate the efficacy of these intervention approaches in the context of ABI.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Aged more than 18 years of age and present a medical diagnosis of acquired brain injury.
  • Have the completed and signed
  • Present a state that allows following indications for the practice of exercise and physical activity.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Have medical comorbidities that contraindicate the safe performance of the program (i.e., cardiac or respiratory instability, uncontrolled seizures).
  • Have additional disabling conditions, such as cognitive impairment and/or an inability to communicate with the researcher verbally, in writing, or through an emissary.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedDate before it movedWhere the date was before it movedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Nov 2026; primary completion for Aug 2027, 8 months later.

Of 284 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Brain Injuries, half reached primary completion within 26 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 14 and three quarters within 48. This study's planned 8 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 297 studies reached it within 24 months; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 48.

Start moved once since we started tracking on Sep 25, 2026: Oct 2026 → Nov 2026, on Oct 28, 2026.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
