Official title: Comparación Entre Ingreso Hospitalario y Hospitalización Domiciliaria y Análisis de Una Intervención Multicomponente en Adultos Mayores: Ensayo Clínico Aleatorizado
Run by Universidad Pública de Navarra · NCT07183241 · Data updated 2026-11-12
Older adults recently discharged from hospital or HaH will try a home-based program of physical and cognitive exercises to see if it helps daily function more than usual care.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Older adults recently admitted for an acute illness who live in Navarre and can ambulate with or without assistance.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with severe dementia or acute conditions prohibiting exercise may not benefit from the intervention.

What this trial studies
This study tests a multicomponent home-based program after acute hospitalization in older adults, comparing it to standard care. It starts with an observational phase followed by a randomized controlled trial to measure physical and cognitive outcomes. Participants receive a home-based exercise and cognitive training intervention designed for post-discharge recovery, with eligibility limited to residents of Navarre who can ambulate and participate. The project is led by Universidad Pública de Navarra and conducted at Navarrabiomed and Pamplona hospitals in Navarra, Spain.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients could regain stronger physical function and better cognitive performance after hospitalization.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research in multicomponent post-acute rehabilitation has shown potential benefits, though this exact hospital-to-home model is relatively novel in this setting.
