MRI and brain testing in teens at risk for type 2 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at brain health in teens with normal weight, overweight, or obesity who are at risk for type 2 diabetes. It may help researchers understand how weight and diabetes risk affect the brain, using MRI scans and learning/memory tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 12–17 years old at the first visit (and 12–19 years old at the later visit).
- Your health is otherwise generally good, with obesity being the main issue.
- You can safely do an MRI scan (no metal in your body, and you can lie flat inside).
- You can do computer or paper thinking tests, in English, without major hearing/vision/language barriers.
- You have had your puberty development checked and you are at Tanner stage II or higher.
- Your weight must be under 450 pounds.

This study uses MRI scans to look at a specific brain circuit (the Papez loop) in people with type 2 diabetes. It aims to understand how diabetes might affect brain networks related to memory and emotion.
This study looks at how metabolism and inflammation relate to diabetes risk in teenagers. It may help researchers understand why some teens develop type 2 diabetes.
This study uses medical scans (MRI) to better understand diabetes in the body, including the eyes, and how it may change over time. It may help improve how diabetes is monitored, especially for people with diabetic eye disease.
This trial tests whether a combination of coaching (cognitive-behavioral therapy) and exercise can improve mood and help teens who are at higher risk for type 2 diabetes. It may be especially helpful if you’re dealing with depression symptoms and a family history of type 2 diabetes.
This study screens older adults with type 2 diabetes for early signs of memory or thinking problems, and offers a program to help keep the brain healthy. It aims to find out if a combination of lifestyle changes, mental exercises, and medical support can slow cognitive decline.
This study looks at people who may be on the way to developing type 2 diabetes or who have it, to see how to help and better understand the condition. Depending on the part of the study you join, it may include brain scans and sleep testing.
