简要总结
Magnetic Mitohormesis (MM) replicates the metabolic and regenerative effects of exercise using an equipment called the BIXEPS machine, which introduces magnetic fields to the thigh muscles in a non-invasive and painless manner. Since exercise improves the blood glucose control of patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), we believe that MM can provide the same benefits.
This single-arm pilot study investigates the effect of MM therapy on glycemic control in individuals with T2DM.
详细描述
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is becoming a significant health issue in the ageing Singapore population. Exercise has been shown to improve peripheral insulin sensitivity, and exercise interventions are often prescribed alongside medication to manage diabetes. However, patient compliance with diet and exercise intervention regimes can often be challenging.
Magnetic Mitohormesis (MM) is an alternative method of muscle and mitochondria activation. MM sessions are brief 10-minute weekly sessions that recreate similar biological and metabolic adaptations as exercise but without physical stress or strain. MM can be easily applied to any age group while seated and without limitations on users' physical aptitude.
Having MM as an adjunct therapy to exercise and drug interventions could improve glycaemic control in T2DM patients, especially amongst the ageing population and those with less exercise capacity.
This single-arm pilot study investigates the effect of MM therapy on glycemic control in individuals with T2DM.
