Active clinical trials for "Weight Loss"

The aim of the present study is to test whether late eating dinner could affect the amount of weight loss in healthy obese women in a weight-loss program.

This study seeks to examine whether meal-replacement therapy is able to enhance weight loss among teens with severe obesity. In addition, we are also interested in examining the degree of weight loss needed to improve important cardiometabolic risk factors among adolescents.

The purpose of this pilot, feasibility study is to investigate the acceptability of an acceptance-based therapy healthy lifestyle intervention in adolescent girls with overweight/obesity.

Patients were randomly assigned into 2 groups: those patients undergoing RYGB with a BPL of 70cm and those ones undergoing RYGB with a BPL of 120 cm. Excess BMI loss 5 years after surgery was investigated

The proposed Church Bridge intervention project will provide an innovative, evidence-based and technology supported, health intervention model for Southern, African American, and rural populations who continue to be disparately burdened by obesity and associated co-morbidities (i.e., hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease). By targeting young adults (21-50 years of age) with families, the project will contribute to the long-term reduction of preventable chronic disease and related health care costs for the public.

PACE is a patient-centered weight loss program that was developed specifically for knee replacements based on input from stakeholders, including knee replacement patients, physical therapists, and orthopedic surgeons. In this pilot study, participants undergoing knee replacement will be randomized to either start a weight loss program before surgery (PACE) or after surgery (Delayed PACE). Both programs will receive a 14-week intervention and complete assessments at baseline (up to 6 weeks prior to surgery), 12 weeks after surgery, and 26 weeks after surgery.

To evaluate a nutritional intervention for women newly diagnosed with breast cancer on a weight control and physical activity program.

This is a pilot study evaluating an online cardiometabolic and weight loss program which is offered by The Wellness Institute. The program is 16 weeks and is developed by a multidisciplinary team and delivered by a degreed health professional (health coach) to assist participants in achieving their personal wellness goals. This study will also investigate the impact of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) on participants lifestyles and access to lifestyle programs and supports.

The primary aim of this study is to compare the changes in body weight between a technology-based system, an in-person behavioral weight loss intervention, and a combination of both during a 12 month behavioral weight loss intervention in adults. Sedentary, healthy overweight and obese adults will be recruited to participate. Assessments will be conducted at 0, 6, and 12 months. This is a randomized trial in which participants will be randomized to one of three groups: standard behavioral weight loss (SBWL), standard behavioral weight loss plus technology (SBWL+TECH), and technology alone alone (TECH).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the success of daily supplementation of multiple probiotic bacterial cultures over 12 weeks in increasing the percentage of excess weight loss in the RNYGB (Gastric Bypass) weight loss population.
