Details and patient eligibility

About

Open-label, non-randomized, prospective, single-center, self-controlled clinical study.

Full description

Eligible subjects will be divided into two groups. The test group will include 15-22 subjects who will be treated to revive their body's functional potential, and the control group will include 15-22 subjects, who will not be treated.

The Test group will arrive to 6 Pure Impact sessions and to 4 weeks follow-up visit; while the control group will arrive to 3 visits, which are equivalent to before first treatment, last treatment (5 weeks after first visit) and 4 weeks after the second visit (equivalent to 4 weeks follow-up visit of the test group).

Subjects of the test group will receive 6 Pure Impact treatments on the abdomen and quadriceps, and/or hamstring and glutes once a week.

First treatment may be administered after the enrolment and screening at the first visit, or it may occur later following the enrolment and screening activities based on site scheduling availabilities.

Overall, all treatments are done within 6 weeks.

All subjects will return to the clinic for follow-up visit at 4±1 weeks post last treatment.
