Measuring stomach outlet stretch in adults with higher body mass index
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study measures how stretchy the pylorus (the opening between the stomach and the small intestine) is. The results may help guide future weight-loss treatments for people with a higher body mass index.

This study looks at how fat cells in the belly release fat. Researchers want to learn more about fat breakdown in people who are overweight or obese. If you join, you may get a drug that helps them measure fat activity.
This study looks at whether abnormal function of the pyloric “stomach outlet” muscle is linked to gastroparesis symptoms (slow stomach emptying). It may help researchers better understand what causes symptoms and guide future treatments.
This study looks at how weight changes affect health in adults with obesity. You may qualify if you have a high BMI and are willing to try a weight loss program.
This study compares people with normal weight to people with obesity who are otherwise healthy to understand how body weight affects gut bacteria, immune function, and blood vessel health. Results may help explain why some people with obesity stay healthier than others.
This study aims to develop better ways to measure how overweight or obesity affects your life, including severity, quality of life, and costs. You will fill out surveys to help researchers understand your experience.
This trial tests whether an endoscopic procedure that cuts a stomach outlet muscle can help with weight loss and be safe. You would be screened to make sure you don’t have certain stomach, heart/lung, or pregnancy-related conditions that could make the procedure unsafe.
