EMS muscle training for astronauts in space
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests if a special muscle stimulation device called EMS can help astronauts stay fit during spaceflight. It may prevent muscle loss in zero gravity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an astronaut with a current flight medical clearance.
- You cannot have heart disease, liver disease, or diabetes.
- You cannot have thrombosis, extreme blood pressure, or hernias in the belly or groin.
- You cannot have a serious neurological condition or cancer.
- You must not be pregnant.
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

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 measures how thigh muscles change in people hospitalized with severe heart failure. It aims to understand muscle loss during this condition and how it relates to recovery.
This trial tests whether electrical muscle stimulation plus extra protein (protein substitute) can improve muscle health and metabolism in critically ill adults in the ICU. If you’re newly admitted and expected to stay on a breathing machine for several days, it may help you keep more muscle strength during recovery.
This trial tests combining electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) with your regular weightlifting to see if it boosts strength and performance. It may help you build muscle more effectively.
This trial tests whether using small electrical pads on the legs can help keep muscle strength in patients who are on ECMO, a machine that helps the heart and lungs. It aims to see if this treatment can prevent muscle loss during recovery.
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.
