Effect of the Resistance-cognitive Dual-task Training on Frailty Status and Cognitive Function in Frail Community-dwelling Older Adults With Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2025

38 participants

Abstract

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the feasibility and effect of a 10-week dual-task training program on frailty status in community-dwelling older adults with frailty and chronic musculoskeletal pain.

Main question: Is a 10-week dual-task training program, that combines resistance and cognitive training, feasible and accepted by community-dwelling older adults who have frailty and chronic musculoskeletal pain, and what is the effect of a 10-week dual-task training program on the frailty status in community-dwelling older adults who have frailty and chronic musculoskeletal pain?

Participants will attend supervised training sessions (either dual-task training \[Intervention group\] or resistance exercise \[Control group\]) for 10 weeks.

Conditions: Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain, Frailty.

Primary outcome: Feasibility and acceptability; Frailty status; Frailty Status; Frailty status.

Enrollment: 38 participants.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 38 participants or records.
