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 tests whether combining a special diet with whole-body electrical muscle stimulation (a technology that gently stimulates your muscles) can help people with obesity lose weight and get healthier. You'll work with the research team over several weeks to follow a diet plan and use the muscle-stimulation device.
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 trial compares two exercise programs—electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) and traditional resistance training—to see which is more effective for overweight women. You will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups.
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.
