Comparing two methods to reduce belly fat in obese teen girls
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests if ultrasound cavitation or whole body vibration is better at reducing belly fat in obese teenage girls. It may help you find a non-surgical option to lose abdominal fat.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a sound-wave device (shockwave therapy) applied to your belly can help shrink fat and improve body measurements. It is for adults who have stubborn belly fat and are otherwise healthy.
This study tests whether gentle whole body vibration therapy can improve strength, mobility, and health in older adults who have both belly fat and muscle weakness. If you qualify, you may be assigned to a vibration or a placebo group to see how it affects your body.
This study tests how different diets affect belly fat, thigh muscle, and heart health in people who are overweight. It might help you find a way to eat that improves your health.
This trial tests if ultrasound cavitation—a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to break down fat—can help lower insulin resistance in women with central obesity (fat around the belly). It's a possible option if you have insulin resistance and are not taking diabetes medication.
This trial tests if whole body vibration can help teenagers with obesity burn more energy while staying in a hospital program. It may offer an extra tool to support weight management.
This study compares two non-surgical fat reduction methods—ultrasound and cold treatment (cryolipolysis)—in men with central obesity. It looks at how these treatments affect cholesterol and fat levels in the blood.
