About this study

Official title: Impact of Rehabilitative Ultrasonography Imaging on Core Muscles Function in Patients With Visceral Adiposity: Randomized Controlled Trail

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of cavitation ultrasonic lipolysis, RUSI guided core muscle exercise and their combination (cavitation ultrasonic lipolysis and RUSI guided core muscles exercise) on diaphragmatic excursion, transverse abdominis activation ratio, visceral fat thickness and waist circumference in patients with visceral adiposity patients with visceral adiposity will be recognized by nutrition specialist. 45 patients were distributed randomly into three groups. The first group will be treated with Cavitation lipolysis twice weekly. The second group was treated with rehabilitative ultrasound imaging (RUSI) guided core muscle exercise. The third group was treated with combination of cavitation and RUSI. patients will be examined with medical ultrasound imaging and tape measurement.

RUSI guided core muscle exerciseExperimental2 sesions / week for 10 sessions For diaphragm muscle the transducer was placed on the sub costal region to visualize diaphragm muscle on the screen aiming to use US as a visual feedback procedure. instructed to have 5 seconds to contract the diaphragm muscle by deep breathing and hold the contraction. At the end of the 5-second period, the image was saved on the screen, and the measurement of the resultant increase in thickness was performed. Each subject performed a total of 10 contractions (intervention session) For transverse abdominis exercise,. draw in your umbilicus toward the spine without moving back or pelvis, while comfortably breathing in and out," for 10 seconds hold and then 15 seconds rest in between, it was repeated 3 sets of ten while keeping the transducer perpendicular to the surface of the skin in a transverse plane halfway between the ASIS and the lower ribcage along the anterior axillary line

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing device and exercise in people with Obesity, Abdominal, run by Deraya University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

diaphragm excursion (time frame: five weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Sep 2023.
