Summary

This study will test whether standing on a whole-body vibration platform can improve constipation in women who have gone through menopause. Fifty women aged 50–60 will either receive standard bowel care advice or that advice plus vibration sessions. The goal is to see if the vibration reduces constipation symptoms and improves quality of life.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Whole-body vibration (device) plus bowel care advice
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a drug-free option to help relieve constipation after menopause.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 50 participants. The device is a commercial massager, not a medical device, and results may not apply to everyone.
