Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty Techniques for Weight Loss
This study is comparing two different ways to perform Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) for weight loss in people with obesity. ESG is a procedure where sutures are placed inside the stomach to reduce its size and help with weight loss. Researchers want to see if placing sutures in just the lower part of the stomach (called "belt only") is as effective as placing them in both the lower and upper parts of the stomach ("belt and suspenders"). You might be able to join if you are 18-65 years old, have a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 30 or higher, and are able to give informed consent. The study will measure how much weight participants lose and any side effects over 6 and 12 months. This study is currently recruiting 10 participants.
- Study design
- This interventional study will compare two different endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty techniques in 10 participants.
- What's involved
- You would have your weight loss measured at the start of the study, and then again at 6 months and 12 months after the procedure. Adverse events will also be monitored at these time points.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for 12 months after the procedure to measure weight loss and adverse events.
