Microcurrent therapy with or without exercise for adults 40–65
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares microcurrent treatment (a low-level electrical current) and resistance exercises to see how they affect muscle performance and recovery. It may help people who are not regularly exercising learn which approach works better for improving physical function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests if whole-body electrical muscle stimulation exercise helps improve nerve signals to muscles in older adults. It compares older participants (65+) with younger ones (18-39) to see how this type of exercise affects muscle activation.
This study tests if physical therapy can help older adults with low muscle strength and mass (sarcopenia). It might improve your ability to do daily activities.
This trial tests if a neuromuscular electrical stimulation therapy helps people with sarcopenia (muscle loss). It may improve muscle strength and function.
This study looks at muscle changes in people with or at risk for sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). It aims to find better ways to detect and manage sarcopenia using simple tests like muscle strength and body composition measurements.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise and nutrition program can improve muscle health in older adults with (pre)sarcopenia, especially those who may have slower walking or reduced strength. It also checks safety by excluding people with unstable health problems and several specific medical conditions.
This trial tests a combined exercise and nutrition program to help older adults with sarcopenia (muscle loss). It aims to improve muscle strength and function, especially for those with metabolic syndrome.
