Magnetic small intestine connection for weight loss or other conditions
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tracks the safety and effectiveness of a new magnetic system that creates connections between parts of the small intestine to help treat obesity or other conditions. It may help you if you need this type of surgery and want to learn more about how well the devices work in real life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
