Diet study for metabolic syndrome and gum health
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests how a special diet affects people with metabolic syndrome and their gum health. If you have metabolic syndrome and some natural teeth, the diet might help improve both your overall health and your gums.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 to 65 years old.
- You need to have metabolic syndrome, which means you have at least three of these signs: a large waistline, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high triglycerides, or low HDL (good cholesterol).
- You must have at least 20 natural teeth.
- You cannot have had gum treatment in the past 6 months.
- In the last 3 weeks, you cannot have taken antibiotics, steroids, or anti-inflammatory painkillers like ibuprofen.
- You cannot have conditions like autoimmune disease, osteoporosis, cancer, or active infections, and you must not be pregnant.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how gum disease (periodontitis) relates to metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions that raise your risk for heart disease and diabetes. It measures the surface area of gum inflammation to better understand this link, which may lead to better prevention and care.
This trial tests whether an anti-inflammatory diet can improve the results of standard gum disease treatment. It is for people diagnosed with periodontitis who are otherwise healthy and do not smoke.
This study looks at how a special diet might affect your kidneys and your oral health. It aims to find out if changing what you eat can help people with chronic kidney disease feel better and have healthier gums.
This trial is testing whether a GLP-1 receptor agonist (a medicine used for diabetes) helps treat gum disease (periodontitis) in people with type 2 diabetes. It might show that this medication improves gum health as a side benefit.
This study looks at how gum inflammation and certain genetic changes relate to obesity. It may help explain why obesity affects oral health, and could lead to better ways to prevent or treat gum disease.
This study looks at how gum disease (periodontitis) and chronic kidney disease are connected. By joining, you'll help researchers understand if treating one might affect the other.
