Intermittent fasting for fatty liver disease in adults
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether intermittent fasting can improve fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by reducing liver fat. It focuses on adults with confirmed fatty liver and extra liver fat seen on a special MRI scan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether intermittent fasting combined with a Mediterranean diet can help people with moderate to severe non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) improve their liver health. If you are overweight and have been diagnosed with NAFLD, this trial may offer a dietary approach to manage your condition.
This study looks at whether changing when and how people eat can improve fatty liver disease caused by metabolic problems. It uses MRI to measure liver fat and compares outcomes while participants follow a structured eating schedule.
This study tests whether intermittent fasting (alternating periods of eating and fasting) can help with weight loss and health in adults with obesity. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective.
This study looks at what drives non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and how it affects the body, including immune-related changes. You may be invited if you have confirmed fatty liver disease or, alternatively, if you are a healthy person with no liver disease.
This study tests a way to find liver scarring (fibrosis) early in people who have risk factors like being overweight, having type 2 diabetes, or drinking alcohol heavily. Early detection may help prevent serious liver damage.
This study tests whether eating within a limited time window each day can improve fatty liver disease (a buildup of fat in the liver). If you have moderate-to-advanced fatty liver disease and are overweight, this trial might help you learn if changing when you eat—rather than what you eat—can reduce liver fat and improve your health.
