Muscle loss in juvenile idiopathic arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. It will measure muscle strength and bone density to understand how the condition affects your body, which could help improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares a simple calf measurement with a body scan (X-ray–based scan) to help diagnose sarcopenia, which means age-related loss of muscle strength. It may help your care team decide on the best way to recognize muscle loss early during hospitalization and follow-up.
This study uses a high-detail sensor placed on the skin to look for signs of sarcopenia, or age-related muscle loss. The goal is to see whether the scan can help diagnose sarcopenia more accurately.
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.
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 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.
