Check care for fainting or falls in adults over 40
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a “global” approach to assessing episodes of fainting or falling in people age 40 and older. It may help doctors find the right cause and safer next steps after an episode.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 40 or older
- You are being referred to a Faint & Fall Clinic after an episode of fainting or a fall
- Your fall or fainting is not just an unrelated, incidental event
- You do not already have a confirmed diagnosis of syncope (a fainting episode caused by a specific cause)
- Your fainting or fall is not happening mainly because of a severe condition like a heart attack, lung clot, or active major bleeding

This study looks at whether people who come to the hospital after a fainting spell can be safely watched for 24 hours inside the hospital, instead of being admitted for a longer stay. It may help doctors decide the best way to monitor low- and intermediate-risk fainting.
This trial tests a fall prevention program for older adults living in the community. It aims to help you learn how to reduce your risk of falling and stay safe on your feet.
This study looks at people who have had repeated fainting spells and still don’t know the cause. It tests whether different types of heart monitoring (like tilt testing or an ECG/heart tracing) can better explain what’s triggering syncope and guide prevention.
This trial studies whether remote heart monitoring after an ER visit for fainting (syncope) can help identify dangerous heart problems. You may be enrolled only if your fainting episode seems medium- to high-risk and you’re being sent home from the ER.
This study follows older adults who came to the emergency department after a simple fall (no serious injury) to understand how well they recover over the next 30 days. It aims to identify factors that might lead to a decline in daily function.
This trial helps emergency departments use a simple risk score to guide care for adults who faint. It looks at whether using these recommended steps improves how syncope (fainting) is assessed and managed in the ER.
