Exercise bands versus muscle stimulation for people with cancer
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of exercise—flexible resistance band training versus a type of muscle stimulation—to see which is safe and helpful during cancer treatment. It may help improve physical function while you’re receiving anti-cancer care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a cancer diagnosis (solid tumor or blood cancer)
- Your cancer treatment is ongoing or planned for cure or symptom control
- Your health is in a level that allows normal activity with some limits (ECOG 0 to 2)
- You are not currently in another exercise or nutrition study
- You do not have bone metastases with a high risk of fracture
- You do not have certain health conditions like significant heart disease, uncontrolled epilepsy, or blood clot (acute vein thrombosis)

This trial tests a special type of muscle training (called whole-body electromyostimulation) combined with nutritional therapy to help people recovering from gastrointestinal cancer surgery. It aims to improve strength, nutrition, and overall recovery.
This study tests a special exercise program using light weights and blood flow restriction cuffs to help people with colorectal cancer who have muscle weakness. The goal is to improve muscle strength and function safely during or after cancer treatment.
This trial tests if using a mild electrical device on your legs after surgery can help you recover faster. It is for people with colorectal or stomach cancer who are having curative abdominal surgery.
This study tests if whole-body electrical muscle stimulation exercise helps improve nerve signals to muscles in older adults. It compares older participants (65+) with younger ones (18-39) to see how this type of exercise affects muscle activation.
This study tests whether whole-body electrical muscle stimulation (a treatment that sends gentle electrical signals to your muscles to make them work during exercise) can help postmenopausal women who are overweight or obese improve their health. It may help you manage your weight and feel stronger.
This study looks at whether combining a special diet with whole-body electromyostimulation (a type of training that uses electrical impulses to make your muscles work) can help with obesity. It aims to see if this approach can help you lose weight and improve your health.
