Insulin Resistance and Exercise After Burns
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests if resisted exercise can help improve insulin resistance in people who have recovered from severe burns. It may help those with second-degree burns on their upper body and trunk who are at risk for metabolic issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 35 years old.
- You had a second-degree burn (superficial or deep partial thickness) covering 20% to 40% of your body.
- The burn is on your upper limb and trunk, and at least two months have passed since the burn.
- Your waist-to-hip ratio is about 0.8 (for women) or 0.95 (for men), and your BMI is around 25.
- You have normal blood sugar (hemoglobin A1C around 5.6%) and are not taking diabetes medication.
- You do not currently exercise two or more times per week and have no major health conditions like heart disease, stroke, or diabetes.

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 study tests whether resistance exercise (like lifting weights) can improve how your muscles respond to insulin. It is for people who are sedentary but otherwise generally healthy.
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.
This trial tests whether core stability and sensorimotor exercises help improve balance after a lower leg burn. It is for people with second-degree burns covering 20-35% of their body, once the wounds have fully healed.
This study tests whether combining core-strengthening exercises with resistance band workouts helps people walk better after a leg burn. It is designed for adults whose leg burns have healed completely within the past couple of weeks.
