Effects of Electrical Muscle Stimulation on Waist Circumference in Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital·interventional·Posted Nov 22, 2016·Updated Jun 10, 2021

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Electrical Muscle Stimulation and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation for Abdominal Obesity. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

This randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, controlled study was designed to investigate the efficacy of electrical muscle simulation (EMS) for treatment of waist circumference (WC) reduction in abdominal obese adults. 60 patients with abdominal obese, man with WC \> 90 cm and woman with WC \> 80 cm, received EMS as experimental group (EG) or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) as control group (CG) 5 times a week for 12 weeks.

Interventions

Electrical Muscle Stimulationdevice

Participants were under EMS 5 times a week for 12 weeks. Pads were applied on participants' abdomen, rectus abdominis and external oblique abdominal muscle areas without any recent wound, infection, scar, and warts while lie on their back.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulationdevice

Participants were under TENS 5 times a week for 12 weeks. Pads were applied on participants' abdomen, rectus abdominis and external oblique abdominal muscle areas without any recent wound, infection, scar, and warts while lie on their back.
