Muscle Loss, Fatigue, and Dizziness in Older Adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study explores connections between muscle loss, tiredness, and dizziness when standing up in people over 65. Understanding these links may help doctors better treat older patients who experience these symptoms together.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how fatigue affects physical and mental abilities in older adults. If you are 60 or older and generally healthy (without serious medical conditions), you may be able to help researchers understand this connection.
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.
This study looks for the best ways to detect sarcopenia, which means age-related loss of muscle strength and mass, in older people in a hospital or care setting. It may help doctors spot muscle problems earlier so they can plan better care.
This study looks at how diet and gut health relate to muscle loss (sarcopenia) in adults 60 and older. It aims to understand links between inflammation, gut bacteria, and muscle strength so we can find better ways to prevent frailty.
This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) in older patients (80+) hospitalized for heart failure with preserved pumping function. It may help doctors better understand how to care for this specific group.
This study looks at how a blood protein called C-protein relates to fatigue and aging, and how exercise affects it. You may be able to join if you’re otherwise healthy and willing to do muscle testing and activity monitoring.
