Clinical Trial: Blood Flow Restriction Training After TIPS Placement in Liver Cirrhosis

U.S., Nov. 14 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07936552) titled 'Blood Flow Restriction Training After TIPS Placement in Liver Cirrhosis' on Oct. 21.

Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate whether a 12-week resistance training with mild blood flow restriction following transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement, compared with standard care, leads to improvements in muscle mass and muscle function in individuals with liver cirrhosis. The primary focus is on the functional recovery of skeletal muscle following TIPS rather than solely on morphological changes in muscle mass. In addition, people-reported outcomes, clinical trajectories, and metabolic and ...
