Electrical stimulation to improve metabolism in overweight adults
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a non-invasive electrical stimulation treatment can help improve metabolism in people who are overweight and inactive. It may be an option for those who do not exercise regularly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 25 or higher, meaning you are overweight
- You are not very active — you exercise less than 150 minutes per week or have a low activity level
- You are not currently taking medications for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or insulin sensitivity
- You do not smoke, drink heavily, or use drugs
- You are not pregnant

This study tests whether electrical stimulation can improve blood sugar control in people who are overweight and not very active. It’s designed for people with low exercise habits and will compare how your blood sugar responds to the intervention.
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 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.
This study tests if combining electrical muscle stimulation with exercise can help older adults with type 2 diabetes living in nursing homes better manage their blood sugar. Participants will receive supervised sessions over several weeks.
This study tests whether combining whole-body electrical muscle stimulation with a high-protein diet can help older adults who are overweight improve their body composition, muscle strength, and overall well-being. If you are over 60, carry extra weight, and are not currently exercising regularly, this approach may help you build strength and feel better.
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.
