Exercise and brain health in weight-loss surgery patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how weight loss and exercise affect brain health in people having weight-loss surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an exercise program or usual care, and brain scans (MRI) will be used to measure changes over a year.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You must be eligible for weight-loss (bariatric) surgery.
- You must be able to have an MRI scan (no metal implants, no severe claustrophobia, and shoulder width under 70 cm).
- You must be able to do cycling-like exercise while lying on your back (supine ergometer).
- You must not have serious health conditions (like major joint pain, heart, lung, or other long-term illnesses) that would interfere with the exercise or scans.
- You must be willing to be randomly assigned to either exercise or control group and participate for one year.

This study looks at how exercise affects brain activity and helps people keep weight off after they have regained some weight following bariatric surgery. You may join if you had weight loss surgery, lost weight, and then regained more than 10% of that lost weight within the last 1 to 5 years.
This study uses brain imaging (MRI) to see how obesity and bariatric surgery affect the brain. If you are planning to have weight-loss surgery, participating could help researchers understand the brain changes that come with weight loss and might lead to better care.
This study uses brain scans to understand how obesity affects the brain and how bariatric surgery may change it. It compares people with obesity who are planning surgery to healthy volunteers.
This study looks at how weight-loss surgery affects your brain, metabolism, and memory. By participating, you can help doctors understand how these changes happen after surgery.
This study tests a new exercise program designed to help people before and after they have weight-loss surgery. The goal is to see if adding a structured exercise routine can improve your recovery and long-term weight loss outcomes.
This study looks at how weight-loss surgery affects brain function. You will have an MRI scan and give a small blood sample before and after surgery.
