Active clinical trials for "Obesity"

The overall objective of this application is to develop a mobile health platform for the pediatric care setting to promote longer sleep duration for childhood obesity prevention.

The study is intended to understand the distribution of different obesity classes and obesity related diseases (diseases that present along with obesity) in patients with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m^2. Participants will be asked to give information about their health. They will continue their normal way of life and will not get any medication or additional medical test other than those prescribed to you by their doctor. Participation in the study will last for about 1 day.

Pregnant women with obesity will be invited to participate in structured home-based exercise programme, remotely monitored

The study will look at how two different forms of semaglutide reach and stay in the blood after injection. None of the two forms of semaglutide have been approved by the authorities to treat obesity. Participants will get 1 of the 2 forms of semaglutide - which one is decided by chance. Participants will get the medicine as an injection under the skin of the stomach with the use of a pen-injector. The type of pen-injector is different for the two forms of semaglutide. The study staff will teach participants how to inject themselves with the medicine. As part of this training participants will self inject placebo (dummy medication) 3 times. Participants will take an injection once a week and will get 21 injections in total of study medication. The study will last for about 27-30 weeks. Participants will have 25 study visits with the study doctor. For 2 of the visits, participants will stay in the clinic for 3 days and 2 nights. Participants may have to stop the study if the study doctor thinks that there are risks for their health. Women cannot take part if they are pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period.

A 2-arm, parallel group, randomized controlled trial to evaluate overall differences in body mass index (BMI) trajectories over 6 months between 10-16-year-old children with obesity randomized to receive the wise social psychological interventions plus a usual care behavioral intervention for weight management compared to children randomized to receive additional education plus a usual care behavioral intervention.

This is a prospective, non-randomized, single center study of a laparoscopically placed, adjustable gastric band medical device for the treatment of adolescent obesity.

This project will examine the feasibility and acceptability of Enhanced Project Health, a dissonance-based obesity intervention, and whether this intervention results in significantly greater reductions in weight and improvements in lifestyle behaviors than an assessment only condition. Participants will be young adults enrolled in college.

Silastic rings have been used around the gastric pouch in order to promote better weight loss after Roux-and-Y gastric bypass surgery ( RYGBP). However the investigators have shown that some patients developed gastroesophageal reflux disease after RYGBP in a previous study. The investigators hypothesized that the use of a silastic ring may play a role in promoting GERD after this operation.

Pharmacokinetic models for anesthetic agents are questionable. The objective of the study is to compare the propofol and remifentanil doses required to maintain the bispectral index in the range 40-60 in two groups of patients: obese patients and lean patients

The goal of this qualitative trial study is to assess the usefulness and acceptability of the intervention in diverse clinical and community settings. The main questions it aims to answer are: How many parents were approached and consented to participate? How many parents viewed the videos via link versus viewed the video with a discussion in group sessions? How did parents feel about the process of being recruited and interventions that they participated in? How did the providers feel about the intervention recruitment and delivery? How did the facilitators feel about their delivery of the material? Participants will complete a survey and an interview after completing second part of the intervention. Researchers will compare handout, online-only video, and group class interventions to see if an intervention delivery is useful and accepted by parents or providers.
