How diet affects nerve health proteins
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at levels of two nerve-health proteins in people who follow different diets for at least a year. It may help show how vegan, vegetarian, or omnivorous eating affects your brain and nerves over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 40 years old
- You have been eating a vegan, vegetarian, or omnivorous diet for at least one full year
- You do not have any known nerve or brain disorders
- You do not have an eating disorder
- You do not drink too much alcohol
- You are not pregnant, have not had a recent infection, injury, or major weight change (more than 5 points on the BMI scale) in the last 12 weeks, and have not used acid-reducing medication like PPIs for a month or more

This study looks at how a vegan diet changes the bacteria in your gut and your body's metabolism. It may help us understand how food affects overall health.
This study tests whether a special diet can help reduce pain caused by nerve damage from Type 2 diabetes or prediabetes. You may qualify if you have painful diabetic neuropathy and are looking for a non-medication approach.
This study compares how well the body digests protein from plant-based versus meat-based diets in young adults (18–23) and older adults (65–75). Researchers want to understand if age and diet type affect how efficiently your body uses protein from food.
This study looks at how changing your diet affects the connection between your gut, immune system, and brain. It's for people with Parkinson's who eat a typical Western diet high in processed foods.
This trial looks at a protein in the blood (neurofilament light chain) that may show how mood disorders like major depression or bipolar disorder affect the brain over time. It compares people with mood disorders to healthy individuals to find patterns linked to symptom severity and thinking problems.
This study looks at how changing your diet affects the gut bacteria and how that may influence brain-related signals. It may help researchers understand whether diet could support overall brain and gut health.
