Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study will be conducted to demonstrate any effect of high intensity focused ultrasound on sleep quality measures in obese doubled chin women.

Clinical Trial Description

PURPOSE:

This study will be conducted to demonstrate any effect of high intensity focused ultrasound on sleep quality measures in obese doubled chin women.

BACKGROUND:

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy is becoming more familiar in medical field because it is non-invasive technique with fewer side effects and provides promising therapeutic results. Several HIFU therapy applications have approved by many approval authorities of deferent countries since last decade.

HIFU cauterizes tissue from outside the body by focusing ultrasonic waves from a transducer with many ultrasonic sources on a single point, known as the target tumor .This modality is groundbreaking because it only causes coagulative necrosis via thermal and non-thermal energy (mainly cavitation) to the focal area, with hardly any impact on the intervening tissue outside the focal area.

Central obesity is significant predictor of metabolic syndrome and is associated with an increased risk of many medical conditions, including cardiovascular diseases (CVD), stroke , type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension , various types of cancer (e.g. colorectum, pancreas, endometrium, and breast) and all-cause mortality

Hypotheses of the study(Null) There is no significant effect of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound on sleep quality measures in obese doubled chin women.

Statement of the problem:

Is there any effect of high intensity focused ultrasound on sleep quality measures in obese doubled chin women? ;
