This study will be conducted to demonstrate any effect of high intensity focused ultrasound on sleep quality measures in obese doubled chin women.
PURPOSE:
This study will be conducted to demonstrate any effect of high intensity focused ultrasound on sleep quality measures in obese doubled chin women.
BACKGROUND:
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy is becoming more familiar in medical field because it is non-invasive technique with fewer side effects and provides promising therapeutic results. Several HIFU therapy applications have approved by many approval authorities of deferent countries since last decade.
HIFU cauterizes tissue from outside the body by focusing ultrasonic waves from a transducer with many ultrasonic sources on a single point, known as the target tumor .This modality is groundbreaking because it only causes coagulative necrosis via thermal and non-thermal energy (mainly cavitation) to the focal area, with hardly any impact on the intervening tissue outside the focal area.
Central obesity is significant predictor of metabolic syndrome and is associated with an increased risk of many medical conditions, including cardiovascular diseases (CVD), stroke , type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension , various types of cancer (e.g. colorectum, pancreas, endometrium, and breast) and all-cause mortality
Hypotheses of the study(Null) There is no significant effect of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound on sleep quality measures in obese doubled chin women.
Statement of the problem:
Is there any effect of high intensity focused ultrasound on sleep quality measures in obese doubled chin women?

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| submental fat scale | It ranges from 0 (no localised sub-mental fat) to 4 (extreme submental convexity). The ideal patient for would be someone who is a '2' or '3' on sub-mental scale, so someone with moderate to severe sub-mental fullness | 3 months |
| Spirometric assessment for obesity | patients underwent spirometry tests with measurement of forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC)and(MVV) | 3 months |
| Impact of Weight on Quality of Life Assessment Tools: | The Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Lite (IWQOL-Lite) is a validated, 31-item, self-report measure of obesity-specific quality of life in adults, available in multiple languages. scale structure of the IWQOL-Lite has been verified with confirmatory factor analysis, and IWQOL-Lite scores are sensitive to changes in weight. There is strong evidence for validity and reliability. ▪ In addition to a total score, there are scores on five domains:

| Assessment of hormonal changes | there might also be deposits of fat around the neck, resulting in a double chin or moon face appearance. This appearance has been linked to glucose and cortisol imbalances, and diminished thyroid function. SO measure cortisol hormone. A cortisol test often uses a sample of blood drawn at a lab. cortisol level is a blood test that measures the amount of cortisol, a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal cortex. Normal values for a blood sample taken at 8 in the morning are 5 to 25 mcg/dL. A higher than normal level may indicate: Cushing disease Ectopic Cushing syndrome, in which a tumor outside the pituitary or adrenal glands makes too much ACTH Tumor of the adrenal gland,stress,acute illness A lower than normal level may indicate: Addison disease Suppression of normal pituitary or adrenal function by glucocorticoid medicines |

| Assessment of snoring | scale from 0-5 . 0 indicate no snoring. 1 indicate rarely slight snoring depends on sleep position. 2 indicate continuous slight snoring without hypopnea or apnea. 3 indicate sometimes loud snoring without hypopnea or apnea. 4 indicate continuous loud snoring without hypopnea or apnea.5 indicate continuous loud snoring with hypopnea or apnea | 3 months |
| Assessment of sleep apnea: | The Apnea-Hypopnea Index or Apnoea-Hypopnoea Index (AHI) is an index used to indicate the severity of sleep apnea. It is represented by the number of apnea and hypopnea events per hour of sleep. The AHI is calculated by dividing the number of apnea events by the number of hours of sleep. The AHI values for adults are categorized as:
