Pilot Study: NMES and High Protein for Recovery After SAH
This study is looking at whether early treatment with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and high protein supplementation (HPRO) can help adults recover muscle mass after a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), which is a type of bleeding in the brain. Researchers want to see if these interventions improve muscle mass, metabolism, and inflammation compared to standard care. You might be able to join if you are between 25 and 80 years old, have been diagnosed with SAH, and had surgery for it within 48 hours. The main goal is to see how much the thickness of your thigh muscle changes after 14 days. The current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional pilot study planning to enroll 30 participants. It compares a group receiving NMES and HPRO to a group receiving standard care.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive neuromuscular electrical stimulation twice daily and high protein supplementation three times a day during the study period. The primary endpoint is measured at 14 days.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary outcome is measured at 14 days, indicating a follow-up period of at least that long.
