Home nutrition and exercise help after hospital discharge
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether having a dietician and a physical activity teacher visit you at home after leaving the hospital can help you regain weight and strength. You may qualify if you are an adult who is moderately or severely undernourished based on weight loss, low body mass index, or reduced muscle mass, and if you have a reduced appetite or absorption issue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
