Efficacy of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation in Mitigating Muscle Mass Loss: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Impact of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on physical performance, muscle strength, and body composition in hemodialysis patients: a meta-analysis of randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials.

Effects of Using High‐Frequency TENS During an Exercise Therapy Program in Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Sham‐Controlled Trial

Therapeutic exercise is central to knee osteoarthritis (KOA) management, but movement‐evoked pain may limit adherence and outcomes. High‐frequency transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation may reduce pain during movement and enhance exercise‐related outcomes. This study evaluated whether high‐frequency transcutaneous...

Correction: Comparative effectiveness and dose–response relationship of exercise-based interventions for muscle mass in older women with sarcopenia: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

[This corrects the article DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2026.1938860.].

Effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in patients undergoing haemodialysis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) uses surface electrodes to deliver electrical impulses that stimulate motor nerves causing muscle contractions. A potential use of NMES is for intradialytic rehabilitation strategy for patients undergoing maintenance haemodialysis (HD), but its effectiveness remain...

Additional Effects of Manual Therapy to Exercise on Pain and Function in Individuals With Knee Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

This systematic review aimed to analyse the additional effects of manual therapy (MT) to exercise (EX) compared to EX alone on pain, function, and PPT in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).

Effectiveness and safety of electrical muscle stimulation following major abdominal surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical and functional outcomes

Major abdominal surgery (MAS) is associated with early postoperative muscle loss and impaired physical function. Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) has been proposed as a promising intervention for mitigating these effects. However, evidence regarding its efficacy, safety, and prescription remains limited. This...
