Physical therapy for age-related muscle loss
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a physical therapy program can help older adults with age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) improve their strength and muscle mass. It may help you feel stronger and more capable in daily life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 60 and 75 years old
- You have low muscle strength (e.g., weak hand grip)
- You have low muscle mass (measured by a body scan)
- You do not have heart, kidney, or autoimmune diseases
- You do not have a cognitive disorder (e.g., dementia)
- Your sarcopenia is not severe

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a muscle-stimulation device (using mild electrical pulses) can help people with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) regain strength. You'll also do an exercise program, and the study aims to see if this combination improves mobility and function.
This study tests if whole-body electrical muscle stimulation exercise helps improve nerve signals to muscles in older adults. It compares older participants (65+) with younger ones (18-39) to see how this type of exercise affects muscle activation.
This study tests if a combination of a medicine (nandrolone), physical therapy, and a special diet can help older adults with muscle loss (sarcopenia) improve their strength and muscle mass. It is for people age 60 to 99 who have been diagnosed with sarcopenia based on specific muscle strength and mass measurements.
This study tests an experimental treatment called EN001, made from stem cells, to see if it can help improve muscle strength and function in older adults with sarcopenia. Participants will receive the treatment or a placebo, and all will follow a diet and exercise program.
This trial tests a combined exercise and nutrition program to help older adults with sarcopenia (muscle loss). It aims to improve muscle strength and function, especially for those with metabolic syndrome.
This study looks at muscle changes in people with or at risk for sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). It aims to find better ways to detect and manage sarcopenia using simple tests like muscle strength and body composition measurements.
