This study compares two non-surgical fat-freezing or ultrasound treatments to see if they improve cholesterol and fat levels in the blood of men with belly fat. It may help you lose belly fat and improve your heart health without surgery.
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 study tests whether low-intensity shock wave therapy can help women with overactive bladder that hasn't improved with usual treatments. The therapy uses gentle sound waves to stimulate the bladder, which may relieve symptoms like frequent or urgent urination.
This study tests if shock wave therapy can improve the appearance and feel of scars after tummy tuck or breast reduction surgery. If you have a scar from belly tuck surgery, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether shock wave therapy, a non-invasive treatment using sound waves, can help reduce symptoms of lipedema, a condition that causes painful fat buildup in the legs and arms. If you have lipedema, this treatment might offer a new way to manage your symptoms.
This trial tests a new non-invasive device to reduce fat in the belly and sides (love handles). It may help people who have stubborn fat in these areas despite a stable weight.
