Whole-body vibration plus vitamin D for adolescent girls with familial Mediterranean fever

Official title: is There an Effect of Addition of Body Vibration to Intake of Vitamin D on Some Outcomes of Familial Mediterranean Fever

Run by Cairo University · NCT07130305 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This project will try adding regular whole-body vibration sessions to vitamin D and usual colchicine for girls aged 13–17 with familial Mediterranean fever to see if it improves fitness, muscle strength, and bone mass.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adolescent girls aged 13–17 with a diagnosis of familial Mediterranean fever who are on stable colchicine therapy and can attend regular sessions at the study site are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients with significant cardiac, renal, hepatic, neurological disease, diabetes, or other contraindications to whole-body vibration, or those outside the 13–17 age range, are unlikely to benefit and are excluded.

What this trial studies

Forty adolescent girls with familial Mediterranean fever will be assigned to either a vibration group or a control group, with 20 participants in each arm. All participants will continue their regular colchicine and receive vitamin D daily for six months. The vibration group will also attend three 20-minute whole-body vibration sessions per week for six months. Outcomes measured will include functional performance, cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength, and bone mass, with assessments performed at baseline and after six months.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, adding whole-body vibration to vitamin D and colchicine could improve fitness, muscle strength, and bone mass in adolescent girls with FMF.

How similar studies have gone: Whole-body vibration and vitamin D have shown benefits for muscle strength and bone density in other populations, but combining them specifically for adolescents with FMF is novel and not previously proven.
