{"type":"trials","record":{"id":30041,"source_id":"clinicaltrials-gov","external_id":"NCT07732530","title":"Acupoint Stimulation and Exercise for Taiwanese Pre-frail Older Adults","brief_summary":"This study aims to explore the relationships between frailty, daily physical activity, sleep quality, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) constitutions among older adults in Taiwan. In the trial phase, a randomized controlled trial will be conducted specifically for pre-frail older adults. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the exercise training group (Vivifrail program) or the integrated group combining exercise with daytime and sleep-improving acupoint stimulation. The study evaluates the combined efficacy of these non-invasive interventions on reducing frailty severity, improving sleep, and enhancing daily physical functions.","overall_status":"Recruiting","phases":[],"study_type":"INTERVENTIONAL","sponsor":"Tainan Hospital, Ministry of Health and Welfare","enrollment":30,"countries":["Taiwan"],"start_date":"2025-06-03","completion_date":"2027-12-31","last_update_date":"2026-08-07","source_url":"https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07732530","editorial_summary":"A registered study indexed because it matched monitored longevity research terms.
