Medicines and muscle loss in older adults with falls
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether certain medicines might make muscle loss and falls worse in older adults. If you are 65 or older, have been diagnosed with sarcopenia, and have fallen recently, this trial may help find out if your medications could be improved.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
