Prehabilitation program for liver transplant patients
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a pre-surgery exercise and nutrition program (prehabilitation) for people waiting for a liver transplant. It aims to see if getting stronger before surgery can help you recover better after the transplant.

This study tests whether a home-based exercise program can help people who recently had a liver transplant. It compares different exercise intensities to see which works best for recovery.
This trial tests whether a program of exercise, nutrition, and psychological support before major cancer surgery can help you recover faster and have fewer complications. It is designed for people who are at higher risk of surgical complications due to other health conditions.
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.
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program before surgery helps improve recovery after converting unresectable liver cancer to a resectable state. If you are scheduled for conversion therapy, this program may strengthen your body for a smoother postoperative recovery.
This study tests whether eating better and doing gentle exercise before your liver transplant can help you stay healthier and recover better after surgery. You'll work with a nutrition expert and exercise specialist to prepare your body for transplant.
