- Ages 20 to 50 years
- Women only
- No healthy volunteers
- Adult
Study population: The research was conducted at the Physical Therapy Department of Al-Zaytoonah University. Forty female patients who had vitamin D deficiency were enrolled in this study according to specific criteria: vitamin D concentration was preliminarily assessed based on the parathyroid hormone response so concentration of vitamin D and parathyroid hormone were measured pre- and post-two month's intervention. Vitamin D concentration was less than 12ng/ml and age between 20 and 50 years
Who may be able to join
- Vitamin D concentration was less than 12ng/ml and age between 20 and 50 years and Their BMI less than 30
Who cannot join
- Vitamin D concentration was greater than 20ng/ml, Their BMI greater than 30 and exhibited a history of significant medical diseases such as rheumatoid diseases, uncontrolled high blood pressure, serious heart or lung issues, chronic viral infections including herpes and hepatitis

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Group A (n = 20): received core stability exercise trained three times a week for 8 weeks.Combination product
Woman was in crook lying position with feet flat on the treatment table. The therapist put his two thumbs on the anterior superior iliac spines then, asked the woman to contract the abdominal muscle, hold the contraction for 10 seconds, then, asked her to relax for 10 seconds
Group B (n = 20): received whole body vibration trained three times a week for 8 weeksDevice
The woman assumed a full squat position on a vibration platform. The apparatus was set at a frequency of 30 Hz, amplitude of 2 mm, and duration of 5 min. The women were instructed to remain in the squatting position with holding hand rail after turning on the vibration and to report any discomfort that might arise. At the end of 5 min, the vibration turned off automatically. Thereafter, the women took a 1-min rest. They were then asked to stand on the vibration platform for 5 min, with the same parameters as those used in the squatting position. Thus, the total time for the application of WBV in each session was 10 min

Woman was in crook lying position with feet flat on the treatment table. The therapist put his two thumbs on the anterior superior iliac spines then, asked the woman to contract the abdominal muscle, hold the contraction for 10 seconds, then, asked her to relax for 10 seconds [29].
2. Quadruped abdominal hollowing exercise:
Woman was in a quadruped position on the treatment plinth with her hips, knees and shoulders flexed 90 degrees, the spine parallal to the table. The woman instructed to inhale allowing her abdomen to drop, as she exhale, she was pulling her abdominal toward her spine without moving her spine with holding for 10 seconds while maintaining her normal breathing patterns. Then asked the woman to relax for 10 seconds [29].

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?
vitamin D concentration (time frame: 8 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 11 Dec 2024.
