Exercise and insulin resistance after burn injury
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a specific exercise program can improve how your body uses insulin (a hormone that controls blood sugar) after a burn injury. It may help reduce the risk of developing diabetes and other metabolic problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 35 years old.
- You have a second-degree burn (partial thickness) on your upper body (arms and trunk) covering 20% to 40% of your body surface.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is around 25, and your waist-to-hip ratio is about 0.8 (for women) or 0.95 (for men).
- It has been at least two months since your burn injury.
- You do not have diabetes, heart disease, stroke, liver or pancreatic disease, or other conditions that affect metabolism.
- You are not currently exercising more than once a week and are not taking medications for blood sugar, blood pressure, or cholesterol.

This study checks if exercise training changes how your brain responds to insulin. You will do ergometer (stationary bike) training, and your brain activity will be measured before and after. It's for people who are not very active now and want to see how exercise affects brain metabolism.
This research study examines how muscle cells handle blood sugar differently depending on whether someone is lean or has obesity, and whether their body resists insulin. Researchers will take small muscle samples to understand the genetic differences, which may help develop better treatments for insulin resistance and metabolic health.
This trial tests whether a structured resistance (strength) exercise program can improve how your muscles respond to insulin, which helps control blood sugar. It might help if you are currently inactive and want to see the benefits of exercise on your metabolic health.
This trial looks at how physical activity affects how your body responds to insulin in healthy men aged 22-35. If you are a non-smoking man with a BMI between 28 and 35 and a certain fitness level, you may be eligible.
This study tests whether high-intensity interval training can improve how your body uses insulin. It is for people with type 2 diabetes who are not on insulin and have had diabetes for 1 to 5 years.
This study looks at how a simulated burn injury affects your body's recovery after exercising in hot conditions. It may help people understand how burns impact recovery in the heat.
