An interventional study of Pilates Training programme in Mellitus Balance Deficits Postural Balance Mobility Limitation and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, sponsored by Beni-Suef University. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 65 Years to 75 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-11-05.
Sponsored by Beni-Suef University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate and compare the effects of a 6-week Pilates-based rehabilitation program versus core stabilization exercises on balance deficits, postural sway, and functional mobility in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes. The study seeks to determine which intervention is more effective in improving neuromuscular control, stability, and overall functional independence in this geriatric diabetic population.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus in elderly individuals is frequently associated with peripheral neuropathy, reduced muscle strength, and balance impairment, leading to an increased risk of falls. Both Pilates and core stabilization exercises are non-pharmacological interventions used to enhance core stability, proprioception, and functional performance.
9,618 studies on the registry are indexed under Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2; 1,340 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 40 is below the median of 81 across 7,736 interventional studies indexed under Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2.

Start is estimated for Oct 2026; primary completion for May 2027, 6 months later.
Of 1,936 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, half reached primary completion within 21 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 39. This study's planned 6 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 2,113 studies reached it within 20 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 38.
