Active clinical trials for "Obesity"

The aim of this mixed methods, single-group, single-center study will be to examine the feasibility of a food response training (FRT). This study will be conducted in patients with obesity recruited from NYU Langone Health. Measurements will occur at screening, baseline, and 3 months, for a subgroup of participants for we will collect saliva samples for genetic analysis at baseline assessment (ancillary study).

The overall objective of the study is to provide personalized nutritional advice based on the gut microbiota profile of children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) or obesity. Specifically, the primary objective of NUTRI-DIET is to validate a dietary model aimed at restoring bacterial species and/or anti-inflammatory metabolites in order to prevent extra-intestinal diseases characterized by dysbiosis, such as T1D and obesity. The primary endpoints of the study will be to monitor the glycemic control indices, i.e., blood glucose (mean of glycemic values, percentage of time-in-range value (TIR), which will be displayed by glycemic sensor) and glycated hemoglobin for diabetic children and Body mass index (BMI) z-score according to World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations (WHO BMI-for-age boys; WHO BMI-for-age girls) for obese children. The secondary objective of the study is to characterize the microbiota profile of the study patients and to test the algorithm under development built from the integration of diet and and gut microbiota composition data that were obtained during the previous observational study NUTRI-T1D.

Exercise is very important for living healthier and longer lives. For people with obesity and osteoarthritis, exercise is even more important because it can help them feel less pain in their joints. Also, the more intense the exercise is, the larger the health benefits will be. The most common ways to exercise are running and riding a stationary bicycle. However, these two types of exercise can cause problems for people with obesity and osteoarthritis. Fast running creates large loads in the knees because of the impact of the foot on the ground. On the other hand, studies in cycling show limited improvement in pain because cycling does not allow the feet to move freely, which is important for reducing pain in people with osteoarthritis. This study introduces a new way to exercise using a hip flexion feedback system (HFFS). The subjects will exercise by increasing how much they lift their knees while walking on treadmill. The exercise will also involve controlling the impact of the feet on the treadmill. The HFFS monitors the subject's heart rate during the exercise using a standard heart rate monitor. A TV placed in front of the treadmill shows how high individuals need to lift their knees. How much participants need to lift their knees is calculated by the HFFS based on real-time heart rate readings. Therefore, the HFFS can help people stay at a specific exercise intensity by controlling how high it tells them lift their knees during the exercise. This study will have participants with osteoarthritis and obesity in two groups. One group will exercise using the HFFS. Another group will not exercise. The exercise group will do a 12-week high intensity exercise program. Our first goal is to determine how much fitness, pain, and the ability to move improve due to the exercise program. With this study we are looking to introduce a better and safer way to exercise for people with osteoarthritis and obesity. The results of this study will also allow for further development of home-based exercise and telemedicine.

We are doing this study to learn more about how tirzepatide may help fight chronic kidney disease in people with obesity with or without type 2 diabetes (T2D). The study will last about 56 weeks and include up to 12 visits.

The incidence of type 2 diabetes worldwide is growing rapidly, being one of the fastest growing global health emergencies of the 21st century according to the International Diabetes Federation. In MicrobiAr the investigators seek to achieve type 2 diabetes remission through a plant-based diet and lifestyle intervention identifying and characterizing key changes on the gut microbiome during clinical transitions. Specifically, the investigators aim to characterize and follow-up metabolic pathways from gut microbiome and how they evolve as long as health indicators do over the 2 years of this study.

This study will look at how well the new medicine CagriSema helps people living with excess body weight and type 2 diabetes losing weight. Participants will either get CagriSema or a dummy medicine. Which treatment they get is decided by chance. The study will last for about 1½ years. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to get pregnant during the study period.

The management of obesity involves hygienic and dietary measures that include appropriate nutrition and an increase in physical activity (PA). Among the various PA modalities that can be recommended, High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is now recognized as a fun and effective program for promoting fat loss. A meta-analysis conducted by our team suggests a potential influence of the mode of HIIT practice (cycling vs. running) on fat mass (FM) loss. In order to better understand the metabolic adaptations following this type of practice, the investigators propose to compare two isoenergetic HIIT sessions (cycling vs. running) in overweight or obese subjects. The objective is to compare post-recovery (+2h) oxygen consumption, substrate utilization, concurrent energy expenditure and post 24h energy intakes.

This study aims to improve blood glucose and weight in patients with prediabetes and obesity through health education, nutritional supplement interventions, clinical evaluation, and close clinical follow-up.100 patients with prediabetes with obesity were randomly divided into 2 groups: life intervention group, nutritional supplement intervention group. All enrolled participants were recommended for routine diabetes lifestyle education according to the "Expert Consensus on Prediabetes Intervention in Adults in China". The duration of the intervention was 3 months. The investigators aimed to compare the differences in weight, glycosylated hemoglobin, lipids and other indicators of the two groups of included populations before and after the intervention. In addition, the investigators are to explore the effects of nutritional supplement interventions on glycolipid metabolism and body weight in prediabetes with obesity.

The proposed study is a 12-month, individual randomized controlled trial (RCT). The main aim of the study is to decrease childhood obesity and improve child diet quality in children ages 5-10 years old by increasing family meal quality (i.e., dietary intake, interpersonal atmosphere) and quantity (i.e., frequency of family meals) via innovative technology (i.e., ecological momentary intervention (EMI), video feedback) and partnerships with primary care and Community Health Workers (CHWs).

This is a randomized, double-blinded and placebo controlled prospective trial with sixty patients to investigate the effect of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) on body weight in patients with severe obesity. We will also collect data that possibly could give a better understanding of mechanisms of this correlation.
