Fasting during Ramadan for adrenal insufficiency patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how fasting during Ramadan affects people with secondary adrenal insufficiency (a condition where the body doesn't make enough cortisol) and who already take daily steroid medication. It compares blood pressure and how they feel during the fast.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study checks the safety of fasting during Ramadan for people with primary adrenal insufficiency (Addison's disease) who take replacement hormones like prednisolone. It aims to see if fasting is safe in this condition.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether giving hydrocortisone plus fludrocortisone to critically ill ICU patients with suspected “corticosteroid insufficiency” can improve outcomes without relying on steroids already being used. It may help patients whose bodies aren’t making enough stress hormones during severe illness.
This study looks at how people with type 2 diabetes manage fasting during Ramadan. Researchers want to understand your experience of fasting with your condition.
This study tests whether adding supplemental hydrocortisone during stressful events can prevent problems in people who develop adrenal insufficiency from long-term prednisolone. It is meant to see if “stress dosing” is safer and helps the body respond to stress.
This study compares how two types of fasting—traditional Ramadan dry fasting and a 16-hour daily fasting schedule—affect how your cells manage energy and repair themselves. Researchers want to understand if fasting triggers beneficial cleanup processes in your cells.
This study tests whether a steroid medication (hydrocortisone) after adrenal gland surgery helps protect kidney function in patients with primary aldosteronism and mild-to-moderate kidney disease. Researchers want to see if the steroid reduces further kidney damage.
