Sarcopenia in inflammatory bowel disease flare-ups
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how common muscle loss (sarcopenia) is in people with inflammatory bowel disease during a flare-up, and what impact it has. By participating, you may help doctors better understand and treat muscle weakness in IBD.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
