ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring two different methods to help manage insulin resistance in women with abdominal obesity and diabetes. Insulin resistance means the body doesn’t respond well to insulin, which can lead to high blood sugar levels. The researchers are comparing high-intensity interval exercise (a type of exercise involving short bursts of intense activity) with focused ultrasound (a treatment that uses sound waves) to see which method is more effective in improving insulin sensitivity.

To participate in this trial, women aged 25 to 35 who have a body mass index (BMI) over 30 and a waist circumference of at least 88 cm may be eligible. Participants will be recruited from the El_shinnawy physical therapy Centre. However, women with certain conditions, like skin diseases on the abdomen or heart problems, will not be allowed to join. If eligible, participants can expect to engage in either the exercise or ultrasound treatment over the course of the study, with the goal of helping manage their insulin resistance and improve their overall health. This trial is not yet recruiting participants, so there will be more information available as it gets underway.
