This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether silkworm pupa powder can help people with Alzheimer's disease improve their nutrition, muscle strength, and quality of life. Researchers will give half the participants the actual silkworm pupa powder and half a placebo (a look-alike powder with no active ingredient) to see if the medication truly makes a difference. The trial will track changes in muscle health, strength, thinking ability, and overall well-being over three months.
People with Alzheimer's often lose muscle mass and become weak and frail, which affects their independence and quality of life. This trial is exploring whether this natural supplement might help address this nutrition-related weakness that conventional treatments don't always improve.
