Protocol summary

Study aim
Evaluation of the effectiveness of microwave technology on reducing abdominal fat and plasma levels of Leptin and Adiponectin
Design
This is an interventional study. After obtaining informed consent from participants and determining the indications of the appropriateness of microwave, 30 healthy people aged 18 to 65 years with overweight and body mass index (BMI) of less than 30 kg/m2 are included in the study.
Settings and conduct
This study will be performed in an obesity treatment clinic. In the first session, demographic information and anthropometric parameters are measured. 5 cc of non-fasting venous blood sample is taken. Participants are given an isocaloric diet. Then treated with microwaves. This process is repeated in the second session of the intervention (20 days after the first session) and also 20 days after the second and third intervention. In order to control dietary intakes, food frequency questionnaire is completed. In order to control the energy consumption of individuals, the IPAQ body activity questionnaire verified for the Iranian population will be completed.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Filling in the moral consent or the absence of a legal prohibition to intervene, Age 65-18 years, Body mass index less than 30 kg/m2
Intervention groups
According to the standard treatment protocol, patients are treated with microwave technology (2.5 GHz radiofrequency) using Onda device (Onda, DEKA technology, Florence, Italy) for 3 sessions with an interval of 20 days.
Main outcome variables
Body mass index; Percentage of body fat; waist circumference: Subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness; Intra-abdominal adipose tissue volume; Blood levels of adiponectin, leptin and lipoprotein lipase; Prooxidane-Antioxidant Balance (PAB); Daily calorie intake; Daily physical activity
