Nerve activity and obesity study
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial looks at how the nerves that control blood pressure work in people with obesity and insulin resistance. It may help explain why some people develop high blood pressure and others don't.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This Phase 1 study looks at a treatment aimed at reducing “inflammation patterns” that are common in obesity and insulin resistance. If you meet specific health and lab criteria, you may be asked to visit a research lab and provide blood samples to see how the treatment affects your body.
This early-phase study looks at how the body’s “fight-or-flight” signals may be involved in weight gain (obesity) and high blood pressure. It may help researchers understand the biology and guide future treatments.
This study tests whether a medication that helps relax blood vessels can improve heart and metabolic health in Black adults with obesity and early signs of insulin resistance. It may help lower blood pressure and reduce risk of heart disease.
This early-stage study tests a new way to help control high blood pressure that is linked to obesity. It may help people whose blood pressure is high based on a 24-hour blood pressure monitor.
This trial looks at how weight loss changes tiny particles released from fat cells and whether that improves blood vessel function. It may help understand how losing weight can protect your heart.
This trial looks at how exercise training affects your body's natural antioxidant systems. It may be a good fit if you have a higher body mass index but are otherwise healthy and not taking any medications or supplements.
