One study, many treatments: a new way to fight muscle loss in later life
This study is looking for better ways to treat muscle weakness in older people, called sarcopenia. We're testing different treatments in small groups to see which ones work best. We hope to find new options to help people stay strong and independent as they get older.

Multivariate Biomarker Study for Sarcopenia in Heart Failure
This study looks at muscle weakness (sarcopenia) in people with heart failure. Researchers want to understand why it happens by checking body measures, blood samples, and how well muscles work. This could help find better ways to diagnose and treat muscle weakness in heart failure.

High-definition Surface Electromyography Markers for the Diagnosis of Sarcopenia
This study is looking for better ways to diagnose sarcopenia, a condition where people lose muscle as they get older. Researchers will test a new, non-invasive device called HD-sEMG on 50 older hospital patients in the UK to see if it can help detect this muscle loss.

The Sarcopenia Study
This study looks at muscle weakness, called sarcopenia, in people with heart failure. Researchers want to see if different types of heart failure affect how common sarcopenia is, comparing heart failure patients to healthy people and those with type 2 diabetes.

Creatine Supplementation During GLP-1a Therapy
This study looks at combining exercise and a creatine supplement to prevent muscle loss in people starting weight-loss medication (GLP-1a). Losing muscle can make you weaker, so researchers want to see if this combination helps keep muscles strong while you lose weight.

Influence of Sarcopenia on the Course of the Diseases
This study looks at how muscle weakness, called sarcopenia, affects people with serious illnesses like cancer or liver problems. We're using simple ultrasound scans and blood tests to find better ways to spot sarcopenia early and understand its impact on a patient's health journey.

Assessing the Dose-response of Muscle Protein Synthesis to "Super-whey" in Older Adults
This study looks at how a special protein drink, 'Super-whey', affects muscle building in older men. Researchers want to find the best amount of this drink to help maintain strong muscles as we age, especially for those with sarcopenia.

Nutrition and Clinical Outcomes in IBD
This study looks at how nutrition and body health affect people with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. We want to find better ways to check for poor nutrition and understand how it impacts treatment, surgery, and overall well-being in IBD patients.

The Krill Ageing Muscle Mechanisms (KAMM) Study
This study investigates if krill oil supplements can improve muscle strength and movement in older adults with sarcopenia. We'll look at how krill oil affects muscles, nerves, and daily activities over six months.

Effects of Microcurrent Treatment With and Without Resistance Exercises
This study looks at how a gentle electrical current treatment (microcurrent) might help middle-aged adults, especially when combined with simple exercises, to improve muscle strength and overall physical fitness. It aims to understand how to keep muscles healthy as we get older.

SARA-31: A phase 3 trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BIO-101 in elderly patients suffering from severe SARcopeniA: an interventional, randomized double-blind placebo- controlled, clinical trial.
This study, called SARA-31, is looking at a new medication, BIO-101, for older people with a muscle weakening condition called sarcopenia. It aims to see if BIO-101 can help prevent serious problems with moving around, compared to a dummy pill. It's a key stage in testing this new treatment.

STRIDE: Strength of The Calf Muscles and Their Role In Declining Effectiveness of Movement With Aging
This study looks at how strong calf muscles are, especially in older adults. We want to see how calf strength affects walking and daily activities, and if it helps identify people who might be at risk of falls or muscle weakness.
