Hip fracture recovery boost? study tests nutritional drink for seniors
NCT ID NCT06773000
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a nutritional supplement (complex carbohydrates and essential amino acids) taken for three weeks after hip fracture surgery can reduce muscle loss in adults aged 65 and older. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the supplement or standard dietary advice. The main goal is to see if the supplement helps preserve muscle size in the uninjured leg.
