Semaglutide and brain response to food in obesity with food addiction
This trial tests if semaglutide can change how your brain responds to food cues, like seeing or smelling food, in people with obesity and a tendency toward food addiction. It may help understand why some people struggle with overeating and how this medication could help.

Is craving a key sign of behavioral addiction?
This study looks at whether craving—a strong urge—should be a main symptom for diagnosing behavioral addictions like gambling, gaming, overeating, excessive screen use, or sex/pornography addiction. If you regularly do one of these behaviors, your experiences could help researchers improve how addictions are diagnosed.
