Kids' metabolism and antipsychotic medication study
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how antipsychotic medicines affect metabolism in children ages 5-17. It compares those with and without metabolic issues, and a group not taking these medicines, to understand how their bodies process energy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This research study examines how the brain regulates hormones and metabolism in people with long-standing anorexia nervosa. By comparing brain samples from people with the condition to healthy volunteers, researchers hope to understand the biological changes that occur and develop better treatments.
This study evaluates children (and sometimes relatives) who may have hormone (endocrine) or metabolism-related conditions. It helps doctors better understand these problems by doing a clinical evaluation.

This trial looks at how a natural chemical pathway in the body might relate to thinking problems in people with schizophrenia. It compares healthy volunteers to people with schizophrenia to find biological clues.
This trial tests if a probiotic supplement can help reduce metabolic side effects (like weight gain or high blood sugar) caused by antipsychotic medications. It is for people with psychosis who are on stable treatment.
This study tests whether a specific diet can help people with anorexia nervosa stay well and avoid relapse after weight restoration. It focuses on “metabolic” (energy and blood sugar-related) effects, checked with blood work and regular visits.
