Sarcopenia in knee osteoarthritis patients in Upper Egypt
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how common muscle loss (sarcopenia) is in people with knee osteoarthritis and what factors are linked to it. It may help doctors better understand and manage muscle weakness in knee OA patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study checks for muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people aged 65 or older who are waiting for hip replacement surgery. It aims to see how common muscle loss is and may help improve care before and after surgery.
This trial is for adults with chronic kidney disease and low muscle strength (sarcopenia). It aims to find ways to improve outcomes, especially if you have a higher risk of complications.
This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people with multiple sclerosis. It aims to understand what factors are linked to muscle loss, which could help improve care.
This trial tests a new approach to treat sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) by targeting a protein called HIF-1α. It compares older adults with sarcopenia to younger adults without it, all of whom are having hip or knee surgery.
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 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.
