Magnetic field therapy for frailty and muscle loss in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a non-invasive treatment using pulsed electromagnetic fields (a type of magnetic energy) can help older adults feel stronger and less frail. It aims to improve muscle strength and overall well-being.

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 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 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 whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture that uses a mild electric current) can improve walking ability in older adults with sarcopenia, which means age-related loss of muscle. If it helps, it could make it easier to walk and complete daily activities.
This trial tests a special exercise program designed for older adults who are frail or have muscle loss. The goal is to help improve strength and daily function, and participating may help you stay independent longer.
This trial tests whether whole body vibration therapy can help improve muscle health in older adults. You stand on a vibrating platform for a few minutes a few times a week, which may strengthen your muscles and reduce frailty.
