Active clinical trials for "Obesity, Morbid"

Lipedema is a chronic disease with unproportional, symmetrical fat accumulation in the lower extremities. Patients experience pain in affected areas, and reduced quality of life. Today's treatment is physiotherapy and surgery (liposuction). Recent research shows that ketogenic-diet with low carbohydrate, high fat (LCHF) conant can lead to reduced pain, increased quality of life and change in body composition. Goals: Investigate the effect of LCHF diet on pain, quality of life and body composition.

Data on pharmacokinetics of rivaroxaban after bariatric surgery and in morbid obesity are sparse. The aim of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters of rivaroxaban, used at a therapeutic anticoagulant dose, in patients with previous bariatric surgery, with sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass, and in morbid obese subjects. Four groups of 16 subjects per group are studied: Morbid obese subjects / Subjects who have undergone gastric bypass surgery / Subjects who have undergone sleeve gastrectomy surgery / Non-operated control subjects matched for age and BMI with operated subjects. All patients (obese, surgical patients, and controls) will receive rivaroxaban 20mg once daily during 8 days. Blood samples will be taken predose (Baseline) and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 24h post rivaroxaban administration at day1 and day8. PK and PD parameters will be compared between groups in order to explore the impact of bariatric surgery, type of surgery and body mass index on the pharmacological profile of rivaroxaban.

In this study, our primary aim is; investigate the effect of aerobic dance based exercise program on lower extremity functions (walking, stair stroke climbing, etc.) in obese individuals awaiting bariatric surgery.

This observational study aims to learn about the correlation between the improving comorbidities associated with obesity after MGB (Mini-Gastric Bypass) surgery and changes in body composition in morbidly obese patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: To study the correlation between the improving comorbidities associated with obesity after MGB(Mini-Gastric Bypass) surgery and changes in body composition. Other objectives are: Changes in the parameters of the metabolic syndrome after surgery Changes in the cardiovascular risk biomarkers after metabolic surgery Emergence in complications arising out of surgery requiring any intervention or causing a prolonged hospital stay, or requiring additional outpatient visits. Type of Study: An observational study in which participants with morbid obesity will undergo mini-gastric bypass surgery as per routine protocol. No separate experimental interventions will be done in the study for the participants.

in all loop bypass bariatric procedure (mini gastric bypass & single anastomosis sleeve jejunal bypass), biliary limb is fixed length. we do it as a percentage from total small intestine length rather than fixed length

The study was designed to explore an alternative approach to reduce weight in human beings using a polyherbal formulation. A polyherbal formulation named as Obesecure was developed after screening of local medicinal flora. The formulation was further improved after pilot studies and Phase-I Clinical Trials.

Introduction Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy surgeon; Have become increasingly morbid obesity treatment methods with improvements in minimally invasive surgery. Ensuring patient comfort and early return to life are the criteria that should be given priority in this treatment method. The purpose of this study is to determine the use of drain, which closely affects these criteria; And the effect on patient comfort.

The aim of this study was to compare maternal, clinical and ultrasound estimations of fetal weight in women with severe (BMI>35) and morbid (BMI>40) obesity and to determine the effect of maternal body mass index (BMI) on these estimations.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of bile acid and bile acids sequestrants on GLP-1 Secretion, during a meal, in patients after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

Executive Summary Aims and Hypotheses of the Study: The aim of the study will be to evaluate the safety, effectiveness and early outcome of the StomaphyX procedure for reducing the enlarged gastric pouch and stoma in post-bariatric patients. The study will test a hypothesis that the StomaphyX procedure will be effective in promoting the loss of regained weight, reducing the risk for comorbidities and improving patients' quality of life. Type of Study: Prospective non-randomized Study Duration: 12 months Number of Patients: 20 Inclusion Criteria: 18-70 years of age, BMI ≥ 35, ≥ 2 years after primary Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with evidence of enlarged gastric pouch volume or enlarged stoma diameter of ≥ 20 mm via endoscopy or fluoroscopy. Pts also demonstrate a weight regain of 15% of excess body weight loss. Exclusion Criteria: Esophageal stricture, or any anatomic conditions that preclude passage of transoral endoluminal instruments, has another causal factor for weight regain other than stoma or pouch dilatation, portal hypertension, coagulation disorders or chronic use of anticoagulants, any active medical condition that would preclude the patient from completing the study or would result in an unreasonable risk to the patient. Intervention Treatment: Creation of multiple full-thickness plications within the gastric pouch using the StomaphyX device (EndoGastric Solutions, Inc., Redmond, WA, USA) Evaluation Criteria Primary Outcome: Change in body weight at 6 and 12 months Secondary Outcome: Gastric pouch volume assessment, stoma diameter determination, quality of life scores, waist circumference, co-morbidity resolution Effectiveness and Safety Assessment Clinical: Weight, height, waist circumference quality of life questionnaires (Impact of Weight QOL-Lite, Eating and Weight Patterns, Three-factor Eating, Emotional Eating Scale, GI QoL, GSRS and/or PGWB) Anatomical: Upper GI endoscopy, computed tomography or barium radiography Biochemical: Blood and urine tests (glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL, LDL, uric acid) Safety: Adverse events, complications, co-morbidities, hospital stay
