Effect of Branched-chain Amino Acids (BCAA) to Muscle Cramps in Patients With Cirrhosis
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Branched-chain Amino Acid and Placebo for Muscle Cramp and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 48 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) versus placebo for treating muscle cramps in cirrhotic patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Compared the effect of BCAA versus placebo on muscle cramp frequency in cirrhotic patients * Compared the effect of BCAA versus placebo on muscle cramp duration and severity in cirrhotic patients * Compared the effect of BCAA versus placebo on quality of life in cirrhotic patients with muscle cramps Participants with cirrhosis who have experienced muscle cramps at least once per week will be randomized to receive either a placebo or 12.45 grams of BCAA orally per day for 12 weeks.
