Whole-body electrical muscle stimulation for weight management in postmenopausal women
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a specific type of resistance training (slow, controlled muscle-lengthening exercises) can help women with higher body fat improve how their muscles and nerves work. It might be a good option if you are not currently on birth control and are looking for a nonsurgical, non-medication way to get stronger.
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 trial studies whether a structured exercise program can improve how your body uses fat. It is designed for postmenopausal women with higher weight and prediabetes who are not currently exercising much.
This trial studies whether a whole-body cold therapy called “WBC” can help people with certain metabolic conditions, neurologic conditions, or fibromyalgia. You may be able to join if you meet age and weight requirements and don’t have certain medical or safety risks.
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 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.
