About this study
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.

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Andrea Gutierrez, PhD (+34637592280, andrea.gutierrez@udc.es), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Health-related Quality of Life (time frame: Baseline an through study completion, an average of 1 year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Jul 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
