Study on the Effect of Edible Mastication Training Colloid Intervention of Oral Muscle Training in Patients of Sarcopenia
Taiwan68 participantsStarted 2024-03-01
Plain-language summary
The main purpose of this study is to screen middle-aged and elderly (≧ 45 years old) individuals at high risk of sarcopenia and sarcopenia, and to investigate whether sarcopenia can improve dental bite force and tongue pressure in middle-aged and elderly sarcopenia subjects when given edible chewing training colloidal intervention.This trial method will recruit 120 subjects for oral strength training twice a day for 8 weeks, and compare the difference in chewing level between the subjects using the oral strength training intervention and the oral strength training intervention before and after the test. The differences between dental occlusal force and tongue pressure after training were also explored. The experiment mainly evaluated the scales related to dental occlusal force, tongue pressure, and quality of life, because the quality of oral muscles is highly correlated with the diet and lifestyle of the elderly, and also affects the physical health and mobility of the elderly. Although the loss of muscle mass due to aging may be unavoidable, appropriate oral strength training intervention may delay or modify the adverse effects of sarcopenia and improve quality of life in sarcopenia subjects.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Based on the results of empirical research on sarcopenia in Asian countries, a diagnostic consensus was established.
Timeframe: From Intervention to Experiment Completion (eight weeks)
