Pilot-testing the Effect of Magnetic Mitohormesis Therapy for Treating Frailty in Older Adults

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Thirty (30) adults with limited physical function will be recruited to participate in a double-blind pilot randomized controlled crossover trial in which all participants will receive 12-weeks of twice weekly MMT treatment in the first (Phase 1) or second half (Phase 2) of the study period; during the control period, participants will receive sham treatment and will be blinded to the randomization.
