Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

It's evident that the literature shows good results on the use of aesthetic ultrasound in the treatment of localized fat, however, little has been explored so far, about possible psychological influences of this method and therefore, it is believed that it is pertinent to elaborate studies that include a placebo group, in order to measure the real effects from the exclusive application of ultrasound. Therefore, the objective of this study will be to verify the influence of the application of aesthetic ultrasound in the treatment of localized fat, using for both clinical, biochemical and functional parameters.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

There will be included 30 participants, female gender, communities between 18 and 30 years, apparently Saudi, local abdominal fat, located in three groups: control (n = 10), experimental (n = 10) and placebo (n = 10) . Or group control não recebeu nenhum type of intervention. No experimental group, 10 sessões de ultrassom (Skinner brand, São Paulo) will be carried out in the previous region for 20 minutes. No placebo group will be applied ultrassom (Skinner brand, São Paulo), pormem com zerada intensities. Anthropometric avaliação e of dobras cutâneas will be carried out at this time before applying the treatment protocol. As skin folds will be measured by means of adipometers.

group control

You will not receive any type of intervention

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

treatment group (ultrasound)

Will perform protocols of 10 sessions of ultrasound in the region of abdomen

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

ultrassound

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The treatment protocol will consist of 10 sessions, lasting 20 minutes. The energy level corresponding to 59 J / cm2 (177 J / cm2) and frequency of 3 MHZ, applied in the anterior region of the abdomen, in a quadrant previously delimited with a ballpoint pen, will be used. The flanks (lateral of the abdomen) will not be treated.

placebo group

It will perform protocols of 10 sessions of ultrasound in the region of abdomen, but the apparatus will be with zero intensities

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

ultrassound

Intervention Type PROCEDURE
