Currently, even individuals who do physical activity regularly have some degree of dissatisfaction with their own bodies. The electromagnetic field for supramaximal muscle contraction has been the subject of research. High-intensity supramaximal muscle stimulation (HI-SMS) is a non-invasive technology used to strengthen, firm, and tone the abdominal muscles, arms, buttocks, and thighs and has been indicated for aesthetic purposes.
The present study aimed to examine the safety and efficacy of HI-SMS used in the abdominal muscles of patients through the analysis of clinical evaluation, biochemical serum profile, and patient satisfaction with the procedure.
PATIENTS/METHODS: This is retrospective non-randomized and non-controlled study collected in a private clinic; all data from healthy participants (n = 25), aged between 18 and 55 years, were compiled and analyzed. All received eight 30 min sessions of electromagnetic field ONIX HI-SMS (intensity of the 90%-100%) located in abdominal, twice a week with intervals of 2-3 days.
The results show that BMI, fat thickness, and waist circumference improved the body contour after the treatment. There was no statistical difference in the data referring to the values of AST, ALT, ALP, creatinine, cholesterol, LDL-C, VLDL-C, HDL-C, glycemia, LDH, CK, and IL-6. However, there was a reduction of "non-esterified" free fatty acids when compared to baseline. This treatment provided high levels of tolerance, comfort, and high level of satisfaction.
Thus, it can be suggested that the treatment with HI-SMS in abdominal muscles proves to be a safe technology with potential for non-invasive therapy for aesthetic purposes.
目前，即使是经常进行体育活动的人，对自己的身体也存在一定程度的不满。超最大肌肉收缩的电磁场一直是研究的主题。高强度超最大肌肉刺激（HI-SMS）是一种用于增强、紧致腹部肌肉、手臂、臀部和大腿肌肉并具有塑形作用的非侵入性技术，已被用于美容目的。
本研究旨在通过临床评估、生化血清指标分析以及患者对该治疗方法的满意度，来检验HI-SMS用于患者腹部肌肉的安全性和有效性。
患者/方法：这是一项在一家私人诊所收集的回顾性非随机、非对照研究；收集并分析了年龄在18至55岁之间的25名健康参与者的所有数据。所有参与者均接受了8次、每次30分钟的ONIX HI-SMS电磁场治疗（强度为90%-100%），治疗部位为腹部，每周两次，间隔2至3天。
结果显示，治疗后BMI、脂肪厚度和腰围均得到改善，身体轮廓有所变化。在AST、ALT、ALP、肌酐、胆固醇、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇、极低密度脂蛋白胆固醇、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇、血糖、乳酸脱氢酶、肌酸激酶和白细胞介素-6的值方面，数据无统计学差异。然而，与基线相比，“非酯化”游离脂肪酸有所减少。该治疗具有较高的耐受性、舒适度和满意度。
因此，可以认为，HI-SMS用于腹部肌肉的治疗是一种安全的技术，具有用于美容目的的非侵入性治疗潜力。
