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 trial studies whether a structured exercise and nutrition program can improve muscle health in older adults with (pre)sarcopenia, especially those who may have slower walking or reduced strength. It also checks safety by excluding people with unstable health problems and several specific medical conditions.
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 trial tests a remote rehabilitation program for people with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). It uses video calls and a smartphone app to help improve strength and mobility from home.
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 study looks at how gut changes (including inflammation) may relate to muscle problems in older adults. You may be invited to provide stool (feces) samples and undergo further testing after a screening visit.
