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 who have not gotten better with other treatments. Shock waves are sound waves that may improve bladder function and reduce symptoms like sudden urges to urinate.
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.
This study tests if shock wave therapy along with core stability exercises can help reduce long-term back pain in female teachers. It may be a good fit if you have had nonspecific back pain for over 3 months and are at a healthy weight.
