Vibration plus supplement trial for weak muscles and nerves
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a vibration treatment combined with an HMB supplement can improve weak muscle quality and reduce early nerve-to-muscle connection problems. It is mainly for older adults who already have signs of low muscle strength or function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 60 or older
- You were identified as “failed” by the AWGS screening algorithm
- You have low muscle mass and/or weak handgrip and/or slower walking speed
- You are not dealing with bone diseases, serious arthritis, or recent fractures
- You do not have ongoing inflammation (like rheumatoid arthritis) or known nerve problems
- You are not already doing regular exercise and you can get out of a chair or bed (not fully chair-/bed-bound)

This trial tests whether whole body vibration therapy can help improve muscle health in older adults. You stand on a vibrating platform for a few minutes a few times a week, which may strengthen your muscles and reduce frailty.
This trial tests whether a muscle-stimulation device (using mild electrical pulses) can help people with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) regain strength. You'll also do an exercise program, and the study aims to see if this combination improves mobility and function.
This study tests whether a daily supplement called HMB can help improve muscle strength, muscle mass, and physical function in adults with sarcopenia who have recently taken a break from activity. If you are eligible, you will help researchers learn if this supplement is a good addition to physical therapy.
This trial tests an investigational drug called AMC6156 to see if it can help improve muscle mass and strength in older adults with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). Participants will also follow exercise and nutrition guidance.
This study tests whether a protein powder combined with resistance exercise can improve muscle and bone health in people with sarcopenia (age-related loss of muscle). It may help you become stronger and more mobile.
This study tests a food product called HB05P to see if it can help improve muscle strength and physical function in people with low muscle mass. It includes a supervised exercise program and may help you maintain independence as you age.
