Can a half‑hour of electrical muscle stimulation lower blood sugar and boost energy use? A 2025 study from the University of Texas, Victoria University and Kansas Medical Center tested NMES on 56 overweight adults with high blood sugar. The results: lower fasting glucose, steadier glucose levels, higher calorie burn and more carbohydrate use—all from 30 minutes of NMES.

It might sound too good to be true, but a 2022 government-funded study from South Korea says it’s possible.

Researchers from Kyung Hee University and Kyungpook National University reviewed multiple studies on Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES)—a low-energy treatment that activates weak or paralyzed muscles.

💡 Why it matters:

Here’s what the researchers found when older adults used FES alongside basic rehab:

👨‍🌾 In one study, patients aged 60+ used FES just 3x/week for 20–30 mins during walking or cycling.
