Whole-Body Vibration Effects on Hormonal Levels in Women with Hormonal Disorders
A systematic review examined multiple studies on whole-body vibration and its effects on hormonal levels in individuals with hormonal disorders, finding a significant impact on thyroid hormones, prolactin, cortisol, and irisin. However, it showed no significant effects on insulin and other hormones in women with fibromyalgia.

Why it matters
These findings suggest that whole-body vibration may influence certain hormonal responses, which is relevant for understanding potential non-pharmacological interventions for hormonal disorders.
What this does not prove
The review does not confirm direct effects on multiple sclerosis or assert efficacy due to broad categorizations and variability in study outcomes and conditions assessed.

study designThis systematic review aims to examine the current literature on the effects of whole-body vibration on hormonal levels in individuals with hormonal disorders.
subjectsThe included studies assessed hormonal level in individuals with hormonal disorders across various pathological conditions including fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, obese hypothyroid females, diabetes mellitus, and individuals with renal diseases.
findingsThe effect of whole-body vibration was statistically significant on thyroid hormones, prolactin, cortisol, and irisin, while other studies showed no effect for whole-body vibration on insulin, gonadal hormones, ghrelin and leptin, adiponectin, parathyroid hormone, and insulin-like growth factor 1 in women with fibromyalgia.
