ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is designed to compare two different treatments—ultrasound cavitation and whole-body vibration—to see which one is more effective at reducing abdominal fat in overweight teenage girls. The study will focus on girls aged 17 to 25 who have a higher amount of fat around their waist and meet specific health criteria.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be female adolescents with a body mass index (BMI) between 30 and 35, a waist measurement greater than 88 cm, and a waist-to-hip ratio above 0.88. However, girls with certain health issues, such as thyroid problems, diabetes, or recent surgeries involving the abdomen, will not be included. If you or someone you know fits these criteria and is interested, this study could offer an opportunity to learn about effective ways to manage abdominal obesity. Participants can expect to undergo one of the two treatments and contribute to important research that could help others in the future.
