Bariatric surgery compared with standard treatment for metabolic syndrome
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares bariatric (weight-loss) surgery with medical (non-surgery) treatment in people with metabolic syndrome, a cluster of risk factors that can affect heart and blood sugar. It aims to see which approach improves these health risks and overall metabolism.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be under 35
- You will be in the group that got bariatric surgery or the group that gets medical treatment
- You have been diagnosed with metabolic syndrome based on established criteria
- You must be able to attend follow-up visits (not “lost to follow-up”)
- You must not have insulin-dependent diabetes

This trial studies bariatric (weight-loss) surgery and how well it helps people reach and keep a healthier weight. You may qualify if you have severe obesity and have not been able to maintain weight loss with other attempts, and if you can safely follow the study plan.
This trial tests a type of weight-loss surgery (called metabolic surgery) to see if it helps people with type 2 diabetes achieve better blood sugar control. It's for people who have struggled to manage their diabetes with standard treatments and have a BMI between 30 and 35.
This study tests whether weight-loss surgery improves how your body uses insulin and energy. It compares insulin sensitivity and related measurements before and after surgery to understand who benefits.
This trial compares surgery plus follow-up care versus the best non-surgical (medical) treatment to help people keep type 2 diabetes in remission for a long time. It may be an option if you have higher body weight and diabetes that’s not well controlled, but safety checks are strict.
This study tests if adding a GLP-1 medication to weight-loss surgery helps people with obesity and related conditions like diabetes. It may improve weight loss and blood sugar control more than surgery alone.
This trial compares two types of weight loss surgery for people with severe obesity. Both procedures aim to help you lose weight and improve health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.
