Day Hospital vs. Full Hospital for Teenage Severe Obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to treat severe obesity in teenagers: attending a hospital program during the day (and going home at night) versus staying in the hospital full-time. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for teens ages 12–20.
