Online strengthening program while you wait for a liver transplant
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests an online prehabilitation program (strength and fitness training delivered digitally) to help people who are likely to need a liver transplant become stronger before transplant. It may benefit people who feel “frail” or “pre-frail,” since improving strength before surgery can help recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and have cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) diagnosed by tests and your doctor’s assessment
- You are being considered for a liver transplant (or you are already listed)
- You score as pre-frail or frail on the liver frailty test (not “robust”)—either LFI or TeLeFI
- You can read and speak English or French and you have internet access (phone, tablet, or computer)
- Your MELD-Na score is 26 or lower, and you’re not expected to get a transplant within 12 weeks for a living donor
