U.S., Sept. 10 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07162636) titled 'ELECTRICAL STIMULATION AND EXERCISE FOR MUSCLE LOSS IN CIRRHOSIS PATIENTS' on Aug. 06.
Brief Summary: Introduction: Sarcopenia, whether primary or secondary, substantially impacts the quality of life of patients post-hospital discharge. Compromised functional capacity can lead to a high prevalence of readmissions. In this context, neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), when combined with voluntary contraction (NMES+), emerges as a promising strategy for optimizing muscle strength gain.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of NMES+ in improving lower limb muscle strength and physical performance in hospitalized sarcopenic indi...
