How weight loss surgery affects brain function
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be over 35 before any weight-loss surgery.
- You must be able to have an MRI scan (no metal implants, pacemaker, or severe claustrophobia).
- You must not have had a neurological disorder (like epilepsy, stroke, or Parkinson's).
- You must not have a serious psychiatric condition (like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder).
- You must be willing to give a small blood sample and be comfortable with an MRI.

This study looks at how weight loss affects the energy-producing parts of your cells (mitochondria). It may help researchers understand how bariatric surgery improves overall health.
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 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.
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 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 trial tests if gentle electrical brain stimulation (called tDCS) before weight-loss surgery can help you gain better control over your eating habits. It's designed for people with severe obesity who struggle with overeating.
