About this trial
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ultrasound cavitation on insulin resistance, HbA1c and skin fold in patients with abdominal central obesity.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Female subjects with central obesity.
Female participants aged between 25 to 40 years.

Disqualifiers
• Subjects diagnosed with DM (HbA1c more than 6.5%).
History of metabolic disorders such as type 1 diabetes or thyroid disorders.
Subjects with BMI less than 30 kg/m2.
Subjects diagnosed with heart disease, liver as well as kidney diseases.
