Acupoint Stimulation and Exercise for Pre-Frail Older Adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining acupoint stimulation (a type of pressure on specific body points) with exercise can help older adults who are starting to become frail. It aims to improve strength and daily function.
