Intermittent fasting and Mediterranean diet for fatty liver disease
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two eating plans—intermittent fasting and the Mediterranean diet—to see which is better for people with fatty liver disease. If you qualify, you'll try one of these diets for a period, and the researchers will track changes in your liver health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have moderate to severe non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), confirmed by a special liver scan.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 25 and 35, which means you are overweight or mildly obese.
- You are not taking insulin for diabetes.
- Your fatty liver disease is not caused by alcohol.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you are able to follow a specific diet for the study.

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.
This study tests whether combining diet with two different exercise programs can help people who are overweight or obese and have fatty liver disease. The goal is to see which program works best to reduce liver fat and improve health.
This study uses multiple types of health data (“multi-omics”) to help choose a personalized treatment plan for people with obesity-related fatty liver disease. It may help match treatment to your biology to improve outcomes.
This study looks at people with fatty liver disease and common health issues like obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, or abnormal cholesterol. It may help researchers understand how liver fat and heart/metabolism problems relate and how they affect health over time.
This trial tests whether a very low calorie ketogenic diet (a strict low-carb, high-fat diet) can help people with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) who have liver scarring. Participants will follow this diet for a year and have two liver biopsies to see if their liver health improves.
This study tests whether changing when you eat (for example, shortening your daily eating window) can help improve liver health in people with fatty liver disease. If you qualify, you would receive guidance on meal timing and may help researchers learn if this approach reduces liver fat and improves overall health.
