{"type":"trials","record":{"id":35225,"source_id":"clinicaltrials-gov","external_id":"NCT06286982","title":"The Oral Symptom Assessment Scale in Older Patients With Frailty","brief_summary":"Oral (or mouth) symptoms are common in older patients who live with frailty. It is known that frailty describes someone's overall resilience and how this relates to the chances of recovery following a health problem. A questionnaire called the Oral Symptom Assessment Scale (or OSAS) was designed to look at mouth symptoms in patients who had an advanced cancer. These symptoms may overlap with patients who have frailty. This research study is taking place to find out if the OSAS will be a suitable questionnaire that can be used in older patients with frailty. This study will take place in Our Lady's Hospice \\& Care Services, Harold's Cross and St James' Hospital over six months.","overall_status":"Completed","phases":[],"study_type":"OBSERVATIONAL","sponsor":"Our Lady's Hospice and Care Services","enrollment":250,"countries":["Ireland"],"start_date":"2023-06-06","completion_date":"2025-07-04","last_update_date":"2025-08-11","source_url":"https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06286982","editorial_summary":"A registered study indexed because it matched monitored longevity research terms.
