Using neck muscle scans to predict frailty before ENT surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at neck CT scans to see if muscle size can help predict frailty in people having ear, nose, or throat surgery. It may help doctors better prepare for your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for ear, nose, or throat surgery, but not for cancer.
- You must have had a CT scan of your head and neck before your surgery.
- You must be 18 years old or older.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at “frailty,” or how well the body may handle stress, around the time of surgery in people age 65 and older. It may help doctors better understand who is at higher risk and how to plan care around surgery.
This study looks at frailty in older adults who have a certain type of hip fracture. It may help doctors better understand how frailty affects recovery after hip surgery.
This trial looks at whether “frailty” (how weak or vulnerable someone is) changes short- and long-term outcomes after surgery. It may help doctors better predict who could benefit from extra support before and after surgery.
This study tests a 'prehabilitation' program — gentle exercise and health support before surgery — to see if it can help older adults feel stronger and less frail before going into a planned operation. It is for people 50+ who are a bit frail but can still walk.
This trial studies simple “frailty” assessments (tests of strength, memory, and daily functioning) to better predict risk in people with gynecologic cancers who are planning or having surgery. If you qualify, the results may help doctors identify who needs extra support before and after surgery.
This program helps mildly or moderately frail patients get physically stronger before their heart surgery or procedure. It is designed to improve recovery and outcomes by starting exercises and support during the waiting period.
