Effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on glycemic control: a systematic review and meta-analysis

ABSTRACT:

Background

Physical inactivity increases the risk for metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is an effective method to induce muscle contraction, particularly for populations with physical impairments and/or metabolic diseases. However, its effectiveness to improve glycemic control is unclear. This review aimed to determine the effectiveness of NMES on glycemic control.

Methods

Electronic search consisted of MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and Web of Science to identify studies that investigated the effects of NMES on glycemic control for this systematic review. The meta-analysis consists of the studies designed as randomized controlled trials. Effect sizes were calculated as the stan
