Whole-body electrical stimulation plus a high-protein diet for older adults with excess weight
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years of age or older.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 25 or higher (classified as overweight or obese).

- You have received medical clearance to engage in resistance exercise and electrical muscle stimulation.
- You do not have electronic implants (like a pacemaker) or other conditions that make electrical stimulation unsafe.

This study tests a program that combines exercise and nutrition to help older adults manage their weight and improve their health. It may help you if you are 60 or older and overweight or obese.
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 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 looks at whether adding protein drinks and a simple strength training program can help people over 45 who are taking weight-loss medications build muscle, lose more fat, and feel better overall.
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 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.
