Herbal formula and exercise for muscle loss in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a traditional Chinese herbal formula (Huangjing Yangji) combined with resistance exercise helps improve muscle mass and strength in older adults with sarcopenia. If you have been diagnosed with sarcopenia and fit the age range, this could be a chance to try a combined approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 50 and 75 years old.
- You must have sarcopenia, which means low muscle mass and low muscle strength (as measured by a doctor).
- You should have signs of a Chinese medicine pattern called Spleen-Kidney Deficiency, such as muscle wasting, fatigue, and lower back/knee weakness.
- You must be able to walk and do light exercise like resistance band training.
- You should not have serious health issues like active cancer, severe heart disease, severe osteoporosis, or a recent major infection.
- You have not taken medications that affect muscle metabolism (like corticosteroids) in the past 3 months.
