This study looks at how often obese patients have trouble breathing when doctors try to remove the breathing tube (weaning) in the ICU. The goal is to understand what causes this and how it affects recovery.
Paris, ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06929000Recruiting
Testing an adjustable headrest for painless abortion in overweight patients
This study tests whether a special adjustable headrest can help make painless abortion surgery safer and more comfortable for people who are overweight or obese. You may be able to join if you are planning this procedure, have a BMI over 24, and are otherwise healthy enough for anesthesia.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 20–50 - NCT06950112Recruiting
Comparing two breathing methods for obese patients during weight-loss surgery
This trial tests a personalized way of setting the breathing machine during weight-loss surgery to reduce lung stress. It compares a tailored approach with standard care in people with obesity.
Tanta, El GharbiaAges 18–60 - NCT07175155Recruiting
Breathing device and oxygen for endoscopy in severe obesity
This study tests a special breathing device (a tube placed in the throat) combined with high-flow oxygen through the nose during sedation for endoscopy in people with severe obesity. It aims to see if this combination helps keep oxygen levels stable and makes the procedure safer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06951893Recruiting
Predicting quality of life after weight-loss surgery
This study looks at whether certain traits before weight-loss surgery can predict how a person's quality of life will change afterward. It aims to find patterns that could help doctors and patients make better decisions about treatment.
Chambéry, SavoieAges 18 years+ - NCT04748770Recruiting
Kidney Transplant Access for Obese Dialysis Patients
This study looks at whether obese patients who are starting dialysis can safely receive kidney transplants. Researchers want to understand how weight affects transplant success and access to this life-changing treatment.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT04893954Recruiting
Study of spine changes after weight loss from bariatric surgery
This study looks at how rapid weight loss after bariatric surgery may affect your spine over the following year or more. It may help doctors better predict who gets spine-related problems or improvements after surgery.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06200961Recruiting
Trans-nasal endoscopy for bariatric patients
This study tests a thinner, more comfortable endoscope that goes through the nose instead of the mouth for patients who need an upper GI exam. It may be a gentler option for weight-loss surgery patients.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–90 - NCT03008525Recruiting
Testing vitamin D levels in body fat tissue during surgery
This study measures vitamin D (and related forms) in fat tissue samples taken during surgery. It compares people with obesity to people without obesity to understand how vitamin D is handled in fat.
MarseilleAges 18–65 - NCT06549062Recruiting
Paracetamol dosing in obese vs non-obese surgery patients
This trial studies how the body processes intravenous paracetamol (Tylenol) in people with and without obesity. It aims to find the right dose for safety and effectiveness during laparoscopic surgery.
Ghent, Oost-VlaanderenAges 18–70 - NCT07482436Recruiting
Airway ultrasound vs laryngoscopy in obesity
This study compares two ways of checking the airway before surgery in people with obesity: a breathing tube placed with the help of ultrasound (a handheld device that uses sound waves) versus a standard laryngoscope (a lighted tool). The goal is to see which method is safer and easier for larger patients.
TrabzonAges 18 years+ - NCT07183228Recruiting
Eatit weight-loss program for obesity
This trial tests a dietitian-led program called Eatit to help people with obesity lose weight and improve their eating habits. It's designed for adults who meet certain weight and health criteria.
Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07340125Recruiting
Pistachio snacking and metabolic flexibility study
This study tests whether eating pistachios as a snack can improve how your body uses energy and manages metabolism. It looks at people who are overweight, sleep poorly, and don't exercise much.
Columbia, South CarolinaAges 25–45 - NCT04003038Recruiting
Negative pressure wound dressings after breast reconstruction in obesity
This trial tests whether a special “suction” dressing (negative pressure wound therapy) helps wounds heal better after breast reconstruction using tissue from the belly, especially in people with higher body weight. You may be more likely to benefit if you’re at higher risk for wound problems after abdominal flap surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05918575Recruiting
Breathing support after a breathing tube in very obese adults
This trial tests whether giving noninvasive breathing support (using a mask or similar device, without a new breathing tube) right after removing a breathing tube works better for severely obese adults. It mainly looks at people at higher risk of needing help breathing again after extubation.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07036172RecruitingPhase 3
Semaglutide vs Wegovy for weight loss in Chinese adults
This trial compares a semaglutide injection to the already-approved weight loss drug Wegovy in Chinese adults with obesity. It aims to see if the new option works just as well to help people lose weight.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT04095117Recruiting
