Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study will evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the high power magnet system for toning and strengthening of arm, lower limb and oblique muscles. The study is a prospective multi-center open-label four-arm study.

Study Type

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Changes in adipose and muscle tissue measured via ultrasound imaging
Time Frame: 7 months
To determine the effectiveness of the device for strengthening and toning of arms, lower limbs and oblique muscles through changes in surrounding tissues, measured via ultrasound imaging. Using the obtained images, change in adipose and muscular tissues before and after the therapy sessions will be compared for every participant according to the study phase.
7 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Patient's satisfaction measured via questionnaires
Time Frame: 7 months
To determine the patient's satisfaction with study treatment for non-invasive strengthening and toning of arms, lower limbs and oblique muscles.The 5-point Likert scale Satisfaction questionnaire will be used to evaluate the participant's satisfaction with the therapy outcome where the level of agreement between "strongly agree" and "strongly disagree" should indicate the participant's satisfaction with the therapy.
7 months
Incidence Of Treatment-Related Adverse Events
Time Frame: 7 months

To determine side effects and adverse events (AE) associated with the BTL 799-2 treatment of the arms, lower limbs and oblique muscles. Safety outcomes will include an evaluation of the treatment area to assess and evaluate the following:

  • Muscle pain
  • Temporary muscle spasm
  • Temporary joint or tendon pain
  • Local erythema or skin redness
7 months

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
