Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

A

Sham group

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

Dornier Aries 2 device

Intervention Type DEVICE

• Sham group: 6 sessions with placebo LiST probe, 1 session per week. A specific probe design, identical to the active one will allow the double blind fashion of the study.

B

LiST active treatment group

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Dornier Aries 2 device

Intervention Type DEVICE

LiST groups: 6 sessions with active LiS probe, 1 session per week. The ARIES 2 device by Dornier will be used with a treatment protocol: 5000 SW, energy flux density = 0.096 mJ/mm2 (energy level 7)

C

LiST active treatment group

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Dornier Aries 2 device

Intervention Type DEVICE

LiST groups: 6 sessions with active LiS probe, 1 session per week. The ARIES 2 device by Dornier will be used with a treatment protocol: 5000 SW, energy flux density = 0.096 mJ/mm2 (energy level 7)
