Muscle stimulation therapy for age-related muscle loss
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a muscle-stimulation device (using mild electrical pulses) can help people with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) regain strength. You'll also do an exercise program, and the study aims to see if this combination improves mobility and function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) using the Asian standard criteria.
- You are physically and mentally able to do the exercise program and can understand the study details.
- You can use a mobile phone on your own or with a caregiver's help.
- You do not have a pacemaker or other implanted electrical device.
- You have not had knee surgery, knee injections, or knee pain treatment in the past 3 months.
- You have no history of seizures requiring medication, severe circulation problems, or certain skin conditions on your thigh.

This study tests whether a physical therapy program can help older adults with age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) improve their strength and muscle mass. It may help you feel stronger and more capable in daily life.
This study tests if whole-body electrical muscle stimulation exercise helps improve nerve signals to muscles in older adults. It compares older participants (65+) with younger ones (18-39) to see how this type of exercise affects muscle activation.
This study tests an experimental treatment called EN001, made from stem cells, to see if it can help improve muscle strength and function in older adults with sarcopenia. Participants will receive the treatment or a placebo, and all will follow a diet and exercise program.
This study tests a home-based exercise and rehabilitation program delivered through your phone to help improve muscle strength, walking speed, and function in people with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). The goal is to see if remote (online) rehabilitation is as effective as in-person sessions.
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 trial tests a combined exercise and nutrition program to help older adults with sarcopenia (muscle loss). It aims to improve muscle strength and function, especially for those with metabolic syndrome.
