How Weight-Loss Surgery Affects Body Composition in MS Patients
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study follows people with multiple sclerosis (MS) who are having weight-loss surgery to understand how their body composition—the balance of muscle, fat, and bone—changes after surgery. The research may help doctors better support MS patients through weight-loss surgery.
