Effects of NMES on Energy Expenditure, Glycaemia & Hormonal Responses to

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether self-selected neuromuscular stimulation (NMES) affects energy expenditure, glycaemia and hormonal responses in healthy men and women

Clinical Trial Description

Participants were asked to perform 3 trials [sitting (SIT), standing (STAND) and sitting with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to the lower limbs in randomised counter-balanced study design. Trials were separated by at least 48 h and were completed within 14 days. In all trials, participants were required to remain relaxed and motionless. SIT: participants sat in a chair with back, arms and legs supported. STAND: participants were asked to stand with arms supported and feet spaced approximately 15 cm apart. If needed, adjustment of standing posture was allowed during the standing trial to prevent orthostatic hypotension. NMES: prior to the NMES trial, participants underwent preliminary testing to ensure that stimulation was comfortable. Before the NMES, a small area of the body hair was shaved and skin was cleaned with an alcohol wipe and electrodes were stuck to the surface of the skin. Small electrodes placed (5*5 cm) on the lower limb of both legs (gastrocnemius, rectus femoris, vastus medialis). The two devices (EM 80, Beurer UK Ltd, Golborne, UK) were set up with the frequency of 20 Hz along with stimulation period of 1 second on and 1 second off throughout a 2 h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). The instruction for NMES intensity was that the maximal intensity participants were be able to withstand for 2 hours whilst imagining sitting at home watching TV without feeling discomfort. Prior to the OGTT, 5 min was given to identify the suitable intensity of stimulation and within the first 10 min of the OGTT participants were allowed to adjust the intensity once, after which, the intensity remained the same for the rest of OGTT. Participants were asked to sit in a chair with back, arms and legs supported during the stimulation. During trials, participants could watch TV, or read, but typing on a laptop or computer were avoided. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
