Muscle health study for sarcopenia prevention and treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 50 years old and do not exercise regularly
- You have sarcopenia (low muscle mass and strength) or are at risk (low muscle mass but normal strength)
- You are a healthy older adult who can serve as a comparison
- You can understand the study and give written consent
- You have not been hospitalized in the last 6 weeks
- You do not have uncontrolled substance or alcohol use, balance problems, or major movement issues

This study is testing a new digital system to help diagnose and manage sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). It aims to make it easier for doctors to track and treat muscle loss, which can improve your strength and quality of life.
This study tests if a smartphone program can help older adults at risk for muscle loss (sarcopenia) improve their strength and nutrition. You use an app to follow exercise and diet plans at home.
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 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.
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.
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.
