Benefits of Endoscopic Bariatric Procedures for Obesity
This study is looking at how well endoscopic bariatric procedures, specifically endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) or transoral outlet reduction (TORe), help people with obesity lose weight. Researchers want to understand the effects of these procedures on weight changes, hormone levels, and quality of life. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 75 years old, have a BMI (Body Mass Index) over 30, or a BMI over 27 with other health issues related to obesity. This study also includes people who had bariatric surgery before but didn't lose enough weight. The main goal is to see how much weight participants lose after these procedures over one year. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 20 participants.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with an unclear phase, planning to enroll 20 participants. It is a pilot study that will follow participants for up to one year.
- What's involved
- You would undergo an endoscopic bariatric procedure (ESG or TORe), participate in diet, exercise, and behavior modification, and have blood collected to check hormone changes. You would also have follow-up clinic visits for up to one year.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for changes in body weight at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after the procedure.
