SARCOPENIA IN ELDERLY

This study tests whether a traditional Chinese herbal ointment, Peiyuan Guben Tongluo, can increase muscle mass in people aged 60-80 with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). The trial will involve 60 participants and compare the ointment to a placebo over 12 weeks. The main goa…

This study tests an experimental oral medication, PLH-2301, in 168 adults aged 65 and older who have sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). Participants will take either a placebo or one of three doses of the drug daily for 12 weeks. The main goal is to see if the drug improves ph…

This study tests whether a volunteer-led lifestyle program can improve muscle mass, strength, and mobility in older adults with or at risk of sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). Two hundred people aged 60 and older will be randomly assigned to the program or usual care. The pro…

This study tests whether a structured exercise and nutrition plan can prevent older patients (70+) from losing their ability to walk, dress, and care for themselves during a hospital stay. About 360 participants in a geriatric ward will receive supervised resistance and mobility …

This study tests a special exercise method called blood flow restriction training in hospitalized adults over 65 who are recovering from a hip fracture. Instead of heavy weights, participants do low-intensity exercises while wearing a cuff that partially limits blood flow to the …

This study looks at whether older adults (75+) with low muscle mass and strength before hip replacement surgery recover their independence more slowly. About 20 volunteers will have their muscle health measured before surgery and be followed for 6 months after. The goal is to lea…

This observational study will compare muscle strength between the dominant and non-dominant sides of the body in 140 older adults (65+) with and without sarcopenia. Researchers will measure handgrip, biceps, and quadriceps strength to see if larger strength differences are linked…

This study looks at whether combining simple tests—handgrip strength, electrical body scans, and thigh ultrasound—can help doctors spot rapid muscle loss (acute sarcopenia) in older adults admitted to the hospital. Researchers will follow 280 patients aged 65 and older to find ou…
