Diet and Electrical Muscle Stimulation for Weight Loss
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 trial tests a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in your ear to help you lose weight after lifestyle changes haven't worked well enough. You wear the device on your ear for 12 weeks while continuing healthy habits.
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.
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 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.
This trial tests a combination of whole-body muscle stimulation and nutritional therapy to help recovery after surgery for cancers of the digestive system. It aims to improve strength and well-being.
