Effectiveness of Diathermy-Radiofrecuency Compared With Cavitation in

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the present study is to value the effectiveness of Diathermy-Radiofrecuency treatment compared to Cavitation treatment in woman with cellulitis.

Clinical Trial Description

The edemato-fibrosclerotic panniculopathy is a segmental disease and lipodystrophy, this disease is localized in subcutaneous connective tissue which is influenced by venous and lymphatic system, when these systems are affected. The secondary vasomotor dysfunction to failure sympathetic nervous system influence on this disease too.

Usually it affects women, influencing their physical and psychological well-being.

The Aesthetic Physiotherapy, known as Aesthetics Plastic and Restorative Physiotherapy, is in their beginnings, there are little studies which present this pathology from the physiotherapy perspective. The investigators believe that their research could make some progress in this matter.

The search found very few clinical trials of scientific rigor about radio frequency and cavitation, and The investigators didn't find studies that compare both. Both treatments show effectiveness in improving the appearance of cellulite, so it would be a good idea compare them and see the most effective.

The investigators are trying to compare the effectiveness of both techniques and the investigators consider innovative and with added value to investigate something that we haven´t found in the reviewed literature.

The investigators choose 20 women randomly, 40 sample subjects, between 18-40 years old. These women must keep the inclusion criteria.

The participants attend a first date where the investigators collect the necessary data, and they are valued before and after the treatment (perimetry, photographic, Nürnberger and Müller scale, weight, height, BMI).

Then each patient receive treatment, seven non-consecutive sessions Diathermy-Radiofrequency on one leg (gluteal zone, internal and lateral zone, posterior and anterior zone) and other 7 sessions of Cavitation in the other leg, and Presotherapy in both legs.

The investigators also advice the participants about their diet and exercise. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
