Diet and muscle stimulation for obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.

This study compares two types of exercise—electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) and traditional strength training—to see which works better for helping overweight women lose weight and improve health.
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 whether whole-body electrical muscle stimulation (a treatment that sends gentle electrical signals to your muscles to make them work during exercise) can help postmenopausal women who are overweight or obese improve their health. It may help you manage your weight and feel stronger.
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 a special type of muscle training (called whole-body electromyostimulation) combined with nutritional therapy to help people recovering from gastrointestinal cancer surgery. It aims to improve strength, nutrition, and overall recovery.
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.
