This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effects of whole-body vibration on hormonal levels in individuals with hormonal disorders. The analysis included various conditions such as fibromyalgia and diabetes mellitus. Whole-body vibration significantly affected thyroid hormones, prolactin, cortisol, and irisin, indicating potential endocrine system modulation.

Key findings

  • Whole-body vibration significantly altered thyroid hormones, prolactin, cortisol, and irisin levels.
  • No significant effect was observed on insulin, gonadal hormones, ghrelin, leptin, adiponectin, parathyroid hormone, and insulin-like growth factor 1.
  • The studies included individuals with conditions like fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, and diabetes mellitus.

Why it matters

Understanding the hormonal responses to whole-body vibration can inform treatment strategies for patients with hormonal disorders, potentially enhancing therapeutic outcomes through non-invasive interventions.
