INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ultrasound cavitation on insulin resistance, HbA1c and skin fold in patients with abdominal central obesity.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria7
- Female subjects with central obesity.
- Female participants aged between 25 to 40 years.
- Body Mass Index (BMI) ranged from 30 to 35 kg/m2 as high BMI indicates more obesity and central obesity.
- Waist circumference greater than 88 cm, indicative of abdominal obesity.
- Diagnosed with insulin resistance (HOMA-IR > 2.9).
- Sedentary lifestyle, defined as engaging in less than 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week.
- Willingness to provide informed consent and comply with study procedures.
Exclusion Criteria11
- Subjects diagnosed with DM (HbA1c more than 6.5%).
- History of metabolic disorders such as type 1 diabetes or thyroid disorders.
- Subjects with BMI less than 30 kg/m2.
- Subjects diagnosed with heart disease, liver as well as kidney diseases.
- Subjects who take oral contraceptives.
- Subjects with gestational Diabetes.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women were excluded from the study.
- Use of weight-loss medications or supplements within the past six months.
- Previous surgical procedures for weight loss or body contouring.
- Contraindications to ultrasound therapy (e.g., metal implants in the abdomen, active skin infections).
- Participation in another clinical trial within the last three months.

Interventions
Ultrasound Fat Cavitation (USFC) is the method in handling obesity, especially in destroying fat and shaping a particular part of the body. As one of the non-surgical correction methods, USFC is preferred at decreasing the risk of complications due to obesity.
The female will stand on the cushioned tread and grasp by her both hands the two arms of the treadmill. Treadmill will adjust to apply moderate intensity training. It was used for 30 minutes divided into five-minutes warming up, twenty-minutes active exercise and five-minutes cooling down and it was used twice a week for twelve weeks.
