Effects of Brain Stimulation on Food Intake and Behavioral Weight Loss Treatment

Electric Stimulation TherapyObesity2 more

This study will determine whether electrical stimulation of an area of the brain called the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which is important in determining the feeling of fullness after eating, affects how much food a person eats and weight loss over 4 weeks. It will also compare weight changes in people who attend weight loss counseling sessions and those who do not over this period of time. Obese, non-diabetic people between 18 and 60 years of age who are in good health and who live in the Phoenix, AZ, metropolitan area are eligible for this study. Candidates must have a body mass index of 35 kg/m(2) or more and weigh less than 350 pounds. Participants are admitted to the NIH inpatient unit in Phoenix for the first 9 days of the study for tests, which include meal tests to determine eating behaviors and caloric intake, blood and urine tests, glucose tolerance test, weight measurement, psychological assessments and DEXA scan to measure body fat. For 3 of the days, they will be asked to eat all of their food from automated vending machines. Some subjects receive transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS). For this procedure, electrodes that conduct electricity are placed on the head and arm and the current is turned on for 40 minutes. Some tingling may be felt under the electrodes. Other subjects receive sham TDCS, with the current turned on only very briefly. After the evaluations, subjects are discharged home from the NIH unit and instructed to eat 25 percent fewer calories than they consumed while on a weight maintenance diet the first 3 days of their inpatient stay. They maintain the lower calorie diet at home for 4 weeks. During this period they come to the NIH unit 3 days a week to receive either real or sham TDCS. ...

Time Restricted Eating for Weight Loss Maintenance

Obesity

The aim of this pilot feasibility and acceptability, randomized clinical trial will be to examine the effects of two-time restricted eating (TRE) interventions on weight loss maintenance (WLM). This study will be conducted in 40 individuals with non-surgical weight loss of ≥5% initial body weight recruited from the NYU Langone Health Weight Management Program and NY-MOVE! Weight Management Clinic at the Manhattan VA. Measurements will occur at baseline, 4 and 12 weeks. Participants will be randomized with equal allocation to 2 groups: (1) TRE6 or (2) TRE10. The TRE6 will restrict their eating window to 6 hours per day and the TRE10 to 10 hours per day.

Gastric Sleeve-Induced Weight Loss on Shortness of Breath in Obesity

DyspneaQuality of Life

Most research to date on bariatric surgery outcomes has been about metabolic syndrome, a disorder very effectively treated by bariatric surgery. However, obesity is also associated with many other problems that have received much less attention. Amongst the most troubling of these for patients is dyspnea. Dyspnea results in substantial patient distress that can greatly reduce health-related quality of life. Little is known about the relationship between dyspnea, weight loss, and bariatric surgery. Dyspnea is a complex symptom that may lead to adaptive responses, such as the need to rest as a consequence of even minimal activity or seeking medical attention. The main outcome of the study will be measured using a new state-of-the-science validated HRQOL measure, the Patient Reported Outcome Measuring Information System for Heart Failure (PROMIS+HF 27).

Optimizing Weight Loss. Can Continuous Glucose Monitoring Play a Role

Weight LossObesity

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the potential effectiveness of adding Continuous Glucose Monitoring to a personalized weight loss maintenance program in improving weight loss maintenance. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the feasibility and acceptability of wearing a continuous glucose monitoring device in people maintaining weight loss? Is using continuous glucose monitoring will help to change the food and physical activity behavior in people maintaining weight loss? Participants will be randomized into control and intervention groups where the researchers will compare the effects of wearing continuous glucose monitoring devices on behavior change in both groups.

The Effect of Obesity and Weight Loss in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection FractionObesity

This study looks at the effects of weight loss in people who have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and are overweight or obese. The main questions it aims to answer are whether weight loss in this group of people improves: The heart's shape, how well it pumps blood and how well it uses fuels The person's quality of life and how much they can exercise Participants will attend 2 study visits, separated by 3-6 months. The intervention period takes place in between the 2 study visits. Each study visit will involve measurements including: Symptom and quality of life questionnaires Body measurements such as height and weight Blood tests Ultrasound scans of the heart (echocardiogram) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans of the heart Exercise components during the scans 6 minute walk test Participants are randomly allocated (in other words, by lottery) to either 'diet' or 'control' groups. The control group will continue standard care. The diet group will be enrolled in a weight loss program supervised by the study team. Participants in the diet group will replace their usual meals with meal replacement products specifically designed to deliver a low calorie diet for weight loss. The products will consist of formula soups, shakes and porridges. This diet would last 8 weeks, followed by a guided period of food reintroduction and maintenance.

VK2735 for Weight Management Phase 2

Weight Loss

This is a phase 2, 13-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel arm study that will evaluate the safety, tolerability, weight loss efficacy, pharmacodynamic effects, and pharmacokinetics of VK2735 in adults who are obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) or who are overweight (BMI ≥27 kg/m2) with at least one weight-related co-morbid condition. VK2735 or matched placebo will be administered once weekly.
