About this study

This study will be conducted to investigate the Effect of whole-body vibration on insulin resistance in obese postmenopausal women

Read the detailed description

The prevalence of obesity has tripled over the past four decades, imposing an enormous burden on people's health.

Obesity is associated with premature mortality and is a serious public health threat that accounts for a large proportion of the worldwide non-communicable disease burden, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and certain cancers.

reported that "Whole-body vibration (WBV) training has been established as a useful method to improve physical fitness in obese individuals. Vibration stimulus during half squatting might suggest a long-term effect of WBV on the endocrine system. Therefore, in this study, The aim to investigate the effect of whole-body vibration on insulin resistance in obese postmenopausal.

Being tested

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The Homeostatic model assessment (The HOMA-IR).

    The Homeostatic model assessment (The HOMA-IR).

    A sample of 5ml of venous blood sample was drawn from all women after 12 hours fasting for measurement of fasting blood glucose, fasting blood insulin and then detection of insulin resistance (by HOMA -IR) through the equation:

    HOMA-IR=(Glucose ×Insulin)/405 glucose in mass unit (mg/dl)

    Measured: up to 3 months

  2. BMI

    Weight and height were measured to detect the BMI according to the following equation: BMI= weight/height² (Kg/m²)

    Measured: up to 3 months

  3. Waist circumference

    A non-stretchable tape measurement was used to measure waist circumference for all women in both groups A and B: mid-way between upper border of the lateral iliac crest and the lower border of the lowest rib at the end of gentle expiration with arm relaxed at sides.

    Measured: up to 3 months

  4. Skin fold thickness

    Skin fold caliper was used to measure skin fold thickness at abdominal region for all women in both groups A and B

    Measured: up to 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Total body vibration and moderate restricted diet in people with Insulin Resistance, run by October 6 University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The Homeostatic model assessment (The HOMA-IR). (time frame: up to 3 months). The study lists 4 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 17 May 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
