NCT ID NCT05237583

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether a structured program combining exercise, nutritional advice, and psychological support is safe and doable for frail adults with cirrhosis waiting for a liver transplant. Twenty-five participants were enrolled to see if they could stick with the program and if it improved their frailty and nutrition. The goal was to help patients be stronger going into surgery, but the study was small and focused on feasibility, not long-term outcomes.
