Home workouts may boost brain and body in liver disease
NCT ID NCT06749340
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a 12-week strengthening exercise program can improve muscle strength, muscle mass, and cognitive function in people with compensated liver cirrhosis. Twenty participants will be randomly assigned to either face-to-face or home-based exercise sessions three times a week. The goal is to see if exercise can help with common problems like sarcopenia (muscle loss) and thinking difficulties.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- resistive exercise program
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to improve muscle health and thinking in people with liver cirrhosis.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early study with only 20 people, so results may not apply to everyone. It also relies on participants sticking to the exercise routine at home.
