Metabolic Effectiveness of Extracorporeal Shockwave on Abdominal Adiposity

2 de julho de 2026 atualizado por: Adly A Adam, Cairo University

Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population's Preventive Sector, have named obesity as one of the top contributors to the national mortality and morbidity. Abdominal obesity is a strong predictor of metabolic disorders and premature mortality. Visceral fat is metabolically active and sensitive for lipolysis, unless it is more insulin resistant. It is well-known that overweight and/ or obesity is associated with overactivated proinflammatory cytokines those overactivated inflammatory process thus led to organs dysfunction across persistent low-grade inflammations . Recently, extracorporeal shock wave represents a promising, non-invasive management strategy supporting the treatment of a variety of conditions related to plastic surgery. As well, it displayed a good safety profile with no serious adverse events .

The need of this study develops from the lack in the quantitative knowledge and information regarding overall metabolic effectiveness of the Extracorporeal Shockwave on abdominal adiposity.

Descrição detalhada

. Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population's Preventive Sector, have named obesity as one of the top contributors to the national mortality and morbidity of Egyptians along with other non-communicable disease (NCDs). Chronic NCDs cause 41% of all mortality in Egypt .Abdominal obesity is a strong predictor of metabolic disorders and premature mortality. Visceral fat is metabolically active and sensitive for lipolysis, unless it is more insulin resistant. It is well-known that overweight and/ or obesity is associated with overactivated proinflammatory cytokines those overactivated inflammatory process thus led to organs dysfunction across persistent low-grade inflammations . Recently, extracorporeal shock wave represents a promising, non-invasive management strategy supporting the treatment of a variety of conditions related to plastic surgery. As well, it displayed a good safety profile with no serious adverse events .

The need of this study develops from the lack in the quantitative knowledge and information regarding overall metabolic effectiveness of the Extracorporeal Shockwave on abdominal adiposity.

A prospective, double-blinded, parallel groups, randomized controlled trial.Ninety participants, > 18years old, whom had abdominal obesity, were randomly allocated either into the study groups, and the control group. They will be recruited from The Out-patient Clinics of Shebin ElKom teaching Hospital, Menofyia, Egypt.The control group A received the conventional balanced, low-calorie diet 1500 k/cal for 12 weeks, only. While, study group B received the conventional balanced, low-calorie diet 1500 k/cal, plus aerobic training program along 12 weeks, and study group C received the conventional balanced, low-calorie diet 1500 k/cal, aerobic training program, plus extracorporeal shockwave, twice weekly along 12 weeks. By the end of the interventional protocol, each participant will be checked twice along 12 months for follow-up. FIB4 as a tool for fatty liver, Hb A1c and lipid profile measures via laboratory analysis, Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist/hip ratio (WHR), and skinfold thickness, and body fat percentage, and lean body mass via bioelectrical impedance analysis will be measured at baseline, after 12 weeks of interventions, and every 6 months for follow-up.

Prazo: 1. At Pre-procedure, at the first day of the study, 2. Post-treatment = means by the end of the 12 weeks of the study procedures, 3. Follow up at 6 months post-treatment procedures: 6 months after the 12 weeks of the study program.
A tool for fatty liver; a simple, cost-effective, and widely used non-invasive index and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease fibrosis score . It will be based on blood tests via(GEM Premier 3000, Werfen Co., 2020, USA device), and basic demographic data: Age, AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase), ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase), and Platelet count. Then will utilize that formula: FIB-4 = Age (years)multiplied AST (U/L) divided on Platelet count multiplied by ALT/ 1/2 (U/L).The cutoff values to assess the risk of advanced liver fibrosis or cirrhosis; Score < 1.30: Low risk of advanced fibrosis. Score 1.30 - 2.67: Indeterminate range. Score > 2.67: High risk of advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis.
