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.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older.
- You are going to the falls clinic for a first visit.
- You have been diagnosed with sarcopenia (muscle loss).
- You have had a fall in the last 12 months.
- You do not have serious memory problems that would prevent you from understanding what the study is about.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests an investigational drug called AMC6156 to see if it can help improve muscle mass and strength in older adults with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). Participants will also follow exercise and nutrition guidance.
This study compares muscle strength between older adults with and without sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). Participants will have their handgrip, biceps, and quadriceps strength measured to understand how weakness affects balance and mobility.
This trial tests whether a type of strength training, called pre-conditioning functional resistance training, can help older adults who are already experiencing low muscle strength. The goal is to see if this exercise approach is safe and practical before starting a larger study.
This study tests a health program with targeted exercise to help older Veterans who have obesity and muscle loss reduce their risk of falling and become more active.
This study looks at how quickly older adults lose muscle strength and mass while hospitalized for a sudden medical illness. It may help find ways to prevent or treat this muscle loss.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise and nutrition program can improve muscle health in older adults with (pre)sarcopenia, especially those who may have slower walking or reduced strength. It also checks safety by excluding people with unstable health problems and several specific medical conditions.
