Filter by:The aim of this study is find out how CBT-based weight loss program affects on eating behavior, weight loss, mood symptoms and risk for coronary heart diseases and type 2 diabetes and applicability of the program to obesity treatment among patients with comorbid depression. Our hypothesis is that the CBT-based intervention improves long-term weight management results and supports positively the change in eating behavior and the risk for CHD on type 2 DM. The study is randomized controlled one-year intervention study with 1 year follow-up. Study subjects are adult obese (BMI>35) subjects with comorbid depression. Number of randomized study subjects will be 80, 40 in intervention group, 40 in control group. Intervention group will proceed through a 52-week CBT-based weight loss group intervention. The aim of the intervention is to modify eating behavior and lifestyle factors affecting weight and weight maintenance. There will be 22 group counselling of 90 minutes divided in five modules and also three individual person-centered counselling visit, during which participants had an opportunity to discuss their personal concerns about diet and weight loss plan. Control group will receive the usual care of obesity in Kuopio University hospital. (4-8 individual 45-minute visit conducted by dieticians) Study visits are at baseline and one and 2 years after baseline. For example eating behavior, health behavior, motivation and depression are studied with questionnaires. Weight, waist circumference, height and blood pressure are measured. Laboratory tests (lipid, glucose etc) are taken.
The purpose of this registry study is to collect data through medical chart review and in patient visits on the efficacy and safety of various Endoscopic Bariatric therapies (EBTs). This is a retrospective and prospective, observational, medical chart review study for at least 6 standard of care visits up to 5 years after a subject consents for study participation.

This early phase I trial studies how well a behavioral weight loss intervention consisting of a smartphone application and coaching works for the promotion of weight loss in adolescents and young adults after a stem cell transplant. This study may help researchers learn more about how adolescents and young adults can lose weight and develop healthy eating habits.
This phase III trial compares telephone delivered Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to standard behavioral therapy for improving weight loss in overweight or obese participants. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on increasing willingness to experience physical cravings, emotions, and thoughts while making values-guided committed behavior changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy may work better at improving weight loss compared to standard behavioral therapy.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to use endoscopic band ligation for weight loss. All ligatures will be performed in the gastric body starting at the distal body; 5 parallel rows, with the last one in the proximal body.The entire procedure can be completed in 30 min. Oxygen is used for endoscopic air insufflation.Endoscopy is performed using propofol for sedation.
This is an open-label, randomized study comparing a monitored ketogenic diet intervention using standard ketogenic diet (SKD) and standard of care (SOC) dietary recommendations for 16 weeks. Subjects enrolled in the standard of care group will receive a voucher to Weight Watchers after study completion.
The investigators will randomize overweight and obese iuan patients to Pio (45 mg/day, highest approved dose or placebo), WL (10% of body weight, following the established program used in the Diabetes Prevention Program), or Pio+WL. Participants will be evaluated at baseline and after 24 weeks of intervention while on a fixed metabolic diet to exclude the confounding effects of diet and perspiration. The primary endpoint will be change in upH, and multiple additional endpoints (serum, urine, imaging) will be assessed.
Attrition from pediatric weight management programs is unacceptably high, with dropout ranging from 27-73%. This project will utilize a model that predicts dropout from treatment, increasing its power and accuracy through a multi-site observational study. This will result in a powerful tool that will be used to decrease attrition from pediatric weight management, with the potential for widespread dissemination to improve treatment outcomes.
This is a randomized controlled trial to compare intra-gastric injection of Botulinum Toxin A (Botox; Allergan Inc. Irvine, Ca, USA) against non-surgical management for obesity (i.e. exercise/diet). Our hypothesis is that intra-gastric injection of Botox into the fundus and body of the stomach will result in greater weight loss than just exercise and diet alone.
