Exercise for cirrhosis patients
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help people with cirrhosis (scarred liver) feel stronger and improve their health. You'll be asked to exercise regularly and have tests to see how your muscles and liver respond.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether a special amino-acid supplement can help reverse muscle loss in people with cirrhosis (scarring of the liver). It may help maintain or improve muscle strength and overall function, but eligibility depends on your liver status and overall health.
This trial tests whether a special mix of amino acids (building blocks for muscle) can help reverse muscle loss in people with cirrhosis. It aims to improve muscle health while keeping you safe from known complications of liver disease.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help people with alcohol-related liver disease drink less and reduce liver injury. It may work by boosting a natural hormone called FGF21, which helps regulate alcohol intake.
This study looks at how your body uses protein in your muscles when you have cirrhosis (a scarred liver). It uses a special “tracer” method (a substance that can be tracked) and may help researchers better understand muscle loss in people with milder cirrhosis.
This study looks at why some people with cirrhosis (liver scarring) develop malnutrition, especially when blood flow is redirected during certain surgeries. It may help explain what contributes to low body weight and muscle so better treatments can be planned in the future.
This trial tests whether different exercise programs can improve health in people with liver cirrhosis. It uses home-based workouts via a device, which may help you stay active and feel better.
