Laser Puncture and Program of Lifestyle Modification in Lupus Females

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
• Interventions: Behavioral: laser puncture, energy expenditure programming, and low-calories recommended diet programming; Behavioral: energy expenditure programming and low-calories recommended diet programming

• Registration Number: NCT05381545
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

Serum lipid profile was significantly dysregulated in female systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients

Detailed Description

the research will recruit 64 female systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) obese patients to divide them to two study groups equally. the study groups will receive, for 12 weeks, energy expenditure program (Pilates exercise, managed 5 times per week, combined with low calorie diet for).One group only will receive an additional laser puncture (with 3-time per-week design). The following points will be directly contacted by laser, for two minutes: GB34\&28, ST25\&36\&40, SP6, and CV4\&9\&12.
