Muscle loss may mess with Seniors' balance and pain
NCT ID NCT07269600
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) impacts neck movement awareness, fear of moving, and pain sensitivity in people 65 and older living in nursing homes. Researchers will compare two groups—those with and without sarcopenia—using simple tests and surveys. The goal is to better understand these connections, not to provide a treatment.
