Effect of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy in the Treatment of Gynoid Lipodystrophy and Localized Fat
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating THORK Shock Wave® (Extracorporeal shock waves) for Lipodystrophy and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of shock waves extracorporea in improving body contour,decrease fat localized and appearance of gynoid lipodystrophy. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A prospective and comparative longitudinal clinical study will be performed in 30 women with localized fat and gynoid lipodystrophy. Patients will be submitted data collection and assessments and before and after treatment. HYPOTHESES: It is expected that the patients will present improvement in the body contour, decrease fat localized and in the picture of the gynoid lipodystrophy after of the therapies. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: A descriptive analysis will be done before and after vibration-oscillatory therapy, with frequency tables for categorical and descriptive variables (mean, standard deviation, median, minimum and maximum values) for continuous or numerical variables. In order to compare the main variables between the groups and the collection times, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) for repeated measurements will be used. Tukey's test will be used to compare groups. The level of significance adopted for the statistical tests will be 5% or p \<0.05.
