I found one related isoperimetric inequality due to Schoenberg [1].

We say that a closed curve in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ is convex provided it never crosses a hyperplane more than $2n$ times.

Theorem. Let $C$ be a closed convex curve in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ of length $L$. Let $K$ be the convex hull of $C$. Then $$ L^{2n}\geq (2\pi n)^n n! (2n)! |K|. $$

Moreover Schoenberg determined all cases of equality.

The paper of Schoenberg has 12 citations in MathSciNet and some of these papers contain generalizations of Schoenberg's result. In particular Tilli [1] (Corollary 1.3) proved

Theorem. Assume $C\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ is a compact set. Let $K$ be the convex hull of $C$. Then $$ \mathcal{H}^1(C)^n\geq (n!)^2|K|, $$ where $\mathcal{H}^1$ stands for the Hausdorff measure.

Clearly the result applies to curves in $\mathbb{R}^n$ of finite length.
