Obesity Clinical Trial - Impact of the Use of FeelWell™ Compression

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

To assess the effect of wearing a custom-fitted, FDA-registered, Class I device, compression garment (Obesinov, S.A.R.L.) by an individual with a BMI ≥ 35 on his/her day-to-day quality of life over a period of one year. Various measures of quality of life will be taken, including assessing an individual's level of pain, mood, self-stigma and comfort with the use of a compression garment. Additionally, to assess the impact of the compression garment on activity, strength, posture and movement of an individual with a BMI ≥35 over the period of one year.

Clinical Trial Description

Individuals suffering with obesity often experience daily pain and discomfort which limits movement, a critical factor in managing weight, cardio-metabolic health, mood, sleep, self-esteem and ultimately overall quality of life. Many individuals who experience weight gain have an abdominal or central distribution of weight which affects body mechanics leading to back pain, poor posture, difficulty walking with altered gait, knee, foot, ankle and leg pain (IT band, meralgia paresthetica) and other non-specific chronic pain. Chronic pain impedes mobility often incorporating depression and low motivation in an endless cycle. Furthermore, as individuals are losing weight, they often suffer from excess skin which also aggravates by chafing (arms, inner thighs), hanging down and interfering with gait.

The Investigators will examine the effect of wearing a custom-fitted, FDA-registered, Class I device, compression garment (Obesinov, S.A.R.L.) by participants with a BMI ≥ 35 on day-to-day quality of life over a period of one year. Various measures of quality of life will be taken, including assessing the participant's level of pain, mood, self-stigma and comfort with the use of a compression garment. Additional assessments include impact of the compression garment on activity, strength, posture and movement as well as potential impact of the use of this garment on weight loss and change in laboratory measures of metabolic health. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
