First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether adding a mild electrical stimulation device (TENS) to a Mediterranean diet can help people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease feel less hungry and improve their liver health. Fifty adults aged 35-45 with fatty liver will be split into two groups: one gets the diet plus TENS, the other gets the diet alone. Researchers will measure changes in appetite, liver enzymes, and body weight over 12 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-drug way to help manage appetite and liver health in people with fatty liver disease.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 50 participants. The results may not apply to everyone, and TENS may not provide meaningful benefits beyond diet alone.
