A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effect of radiofrequency technology on insulin resistance in obese post-menopausal women. Fifty-two participants will be randomly assigned to either a treatment group receiving radiofrequency therapy combined with standard medical care and dietary advice, or a control group receiving only dietary advice. The treatment involves applying radiofrequency to the abdominal area twice a week for 30 minutes. The goal is to assess whether this intervention can improve metabolic outcomes related to insulin resistance.
