NCT ID NCT06188481
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested whether whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) training can improve blood sugar control in 66 sedentary adults aged 40-65 with prediabetes. Participants were assigned to WB-EMS or control groups, and researchers measured changes in HbA1c and other health markers. The goal was to see if this technology could help manage prediabetes without medication.
