Muscle loss, fatigue, and dizziness in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how muscle loss (sarcopenia) is linked to feeling tired (fatigue) and dizziness when standing up (orthostatic intolerance) in older adults. It is a one-time observation, not a treatment trial, and it helps researchers understand these common problems in aging.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how common muscle loss (sarcopenia) is in older people with long-standing type 2 diabetes. It aims to find out if there is a link so that doctors can spot muscle problems earlier and help patients stay stronger.
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 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.
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 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.
This study looks at how different types of exercise can change the bacteria in your gut for older adults who have muscle loss (sarcopenia). You will be assigned to one of two exercise programs to see which one helps your muscles and gut health the most.
