In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

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.
