Brain's Fullness Circuit Study
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses brain imaging and mild magnetic stimulation to explore how a brain circuit helps you feel full after eating. It may help us understand eating behaviors and weight regulation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your BMI is between 20 and 35 (overweight to mild obesity).
- You are generally healthy with no major medical or mental health conditions.
- You do not currently use nicotine or recreational drugs.
- You have not had weight loss surgery or taken weight loss medications recently.
- You do not have any conditions that would make MRI or TMS unsafe (like metal implants or seizures).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if gentle electrical brain stimulation (called tDCS) before weight-loss surgery can help you gain better control over your eating habits. It's designed for people with severe obesity who struggle with overeating.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation method (tDCS) combined with cognitive training can reduce impulsivity around food and improve weight in Veterans with obesity. You would join a MOVE! weight program and complete study procedures to see whether this approach helps.
This trial studies whether targeted brain stimulation (TMS) can help with appetite and eating feelings in people with Prader-Willi syndrome. It also includes an MRI scan to measure brain-related effects, but only if you can safely have these scans.
This study tests a brain-training technique called neurofeedback to help reduce food cravings. You'll get MRI scans while learning to control brain activity related to cravings.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can help reduce food cravings and support weight control in adults who struggle with these issues but are otherwise healthy.
This early study tests whether a personalized type of noninvasive brain stimulation (called rTMS) can help people who have trouble controlling impulsive behaviors, especially related to eating. It is for adults with a BMI over 30 who do not have other major medical or mental health conditions.
