Active clinical trials for "Weight Loss"

The study is a single center, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled; parallel-group repeated measures design. Subjects will be randomly assigned to either Saxenda® or placebo group after baseline assessments. The study will consist of a 4-week partial dose period (Liraglutide 0.6mg, 1.2mg, 1.8mg, 2.4 mg) and a 12-week full-dose (Liraglutide 3.0 mg) period. The placebo group will administer equivalent volumes of the pre-filled solutions from pen-injector at the same time, using the same method during this period. The study proposes to identify factors contributing to early weight loss response in a Saxenda® treatment program. Specifically, the proposed experiments will help determine if Saxenda® changes brain functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Food Cue Reactivity (fMRI-FCR) and whether the magnitude of that change is associated with changes in behavioral and physiological variables (hunger, satiety, cravings and weight loss).

The purpose of this study is to test a new weight loss intervention designed for cancer survivors who have heart disease or cardiometabolic conditions. The investigators want to determine whether this study is feasible and acceptable to participants. The investigators also want to learn more about how cancer survivors take their medications.

The current study aims to test a third-wave based IWB intervention paired with a standard BWLP delivered through video conferencing software.

The purpose of this study is to examine whether adding phone coaching to an Internet-based weight loss program can improve weight loss outcomes at 4 months and 1 year. All individuals will receive a 4-month, Internet-delivered weight loss program followed by an 8-month Internet-delivered weight loss maintenance program. Some individuals will also be selected to receive either 3 weeks or 12 weeks of phone coaching. Assessments of weight, diet, physical activity, and psychosocial factors will occur at baseline, 4 months, and 1 year.

The purpose of this trial is to assess the impact of a 12-week remote dietitian supervised dietary and physical activity weight loss intervention and mobile app for patients with morbid obesity prior to undergoing total joint arthroplasty of the hip or knee. The hypothesis is that that the intervention will result in: 1) greater weight loss than usual care, 2) a higher percentage of patients eligible to undergo surgery by having a body mass index (BMI) below the standard cutoff of 40 kg/m2, and 3) a higher percentage of patients undergoing surgery within six months of study enrollment.

The purpose of this study is to test the OA Clinic-Community CARE Model (OA CARE) which will address all recommended components of knee/hip (osteoarthritis) OA care, include interventions for both patients and primary care providers (PCPs), and utilize a tailored approach that efficiently matches treatments with patients' needs. The patient component of OA CARE will include evidence-based weight management and exercise programs for all participants (delivered through the YMCA), as well as tailored referrals to physical therapy, additional weight management or nutrition services, sleep-related services and psychological services. The PCP component of OA CARE will include a video-based summary of current OA treatment guidelines (with emphasis on practical application), collaboration on patients' referrals to specific services described above, and progress reports on enrolled patients.

This is a single-arm longitudinal group to examine patient-reported outcomes, body mass and mammographic density changes pre- and post- weight loss intervention of breast cancer survivors using video conferencing telehealth visits.

The objective of this study is to design, implement, and pilot a lifestyle-based, 12-week, weight loss program for parents of children with a disability. This weight loss program supports weight loss among parents. It is a first step towards a parent-only approach to promote healthier weight among children with a disability.

This phase III trial compares telephone delivered Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to standard behavioral therapy for improving weight loss in overweight or obese participants. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on increasing willingness to experience physical cravings, emotions, and thoughts while making values-guided committed behavior changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy may work better at improving weight loss compared to standard behavioral therapy.

The purpose of this study is to address the gap in knowledge regarding the relationship between eating frequency and weight loss.
