Can blood pressure and brain oxygen predict falls?
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how measuring blood pressure and oxygen levels in the brain may help predict falls in older adults. If you have fallen before, your participation could help doctors find better ways to prevent future falls.

This study looks at how blood pressure changes when older adults in the hospital stand up or eat, which can cause dizziness or falls. The goal is to better understand and manage these blood pressure drops.
This study tests whether doing two tasks at once, like walking while talking, can help predict fall risk in older adults living in nursing homes. If you join, you'll do some simple walking and thinking exercises to see how your balance and attention work together.
This study measures how your blood pressure affects thinking skills and how blood flows in the brain in people with Parkinson’s. It may help researchers understand what blood-pressure changes could mean for cognition in Parkinson’s.
This trial studies a program to help older adults with mild memory problems and physical frailty reduce their risk of falling. It tests a home-based exercise and fall-prevention plan to improve strength and balance.
This study tests a tool to predict falls in people 65 and older who live at home. It may help identify if you are at risk for falling.
This study looks at how to predict falls in healthy older adults using simple tests and blood samples. It may help find ways to prevent falls and keep you independent.
