Official Title: Effects of Electrical Muscle Stimulation on Waist Circumference in Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief 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.
