Clinical Trial: Low Load Blood Flow Restriction Resistance Training in Colorectal Cancer Related Sarcopenia

U.S., Oct. 15 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07874035) titled 'Low Load Blood Flow Restriction Resistance Training in Colorectal Cancer Related Sarcopenia' on Oct. 08.

Brief Summary: PURPOSE:

To investigate the effects of low-load resistance training combined with blood flow restriction on muscle strength, functional performance, and cancer-related fatigue in colorectal cancer survivors with probable sarcopenia.

BACKGROUND:

Muscle weakness and cancer-related fatigue are prevalent in colorectal cancer survivors with probable sarcopenia and are associated with adverse outcomes (Brown et al., 2022; Caan et al., 2018). High-load resistance training is often poorly tolerated in this population (S...
