18 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The JuLi Registry seeks to fill some of the gaps associated with the clinical use of CBD (cannabidiol) and other cannabinoid formulations including THC and others. The overarching goal of this Registry is to rapidly advance research and understanding of the use of cannabis and hemp-based formulations, in the clinical community setting, when it is utilized to manage the symptoms of cancer treatment and other underlying health issues. These symptoms include nausea, neuropathy, and sleeplessness and chronic pain.
This study will examine the effects of almonds consumed by adults with different body fat distributions on indices of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.
Assessing 5 different milk derived proteins versus placebo for appetite regulation and satiety, delivered via shake vehicle.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of breakfast skipping (SKIP) vs. the consumption of a high protein solid (HP-S) breakfast vs. the consumption of a high protein beverage (HP-B) breakfast on daily appetite control, food cravings, food intake, and sleep quality in young adults.
To determine whether the consumption of a beef-rich lunch improves appetite control, satiety, and energy intake regulation while reducing food reward and food cravings compared to the consumption of a soy-rich lunch when matched for macronutrients and fiber content or when match for serving size. The mechanisms of action surrounding the differential responses of beef versus soy proteins were also explored.
The purpose of this research study is to examine the effects of overfeeding and exercise on blood levels of hormones associated with regulating appetite, also thought of as feelings of hunger and satiety (fullness). Previous studies have shown that non-obese people have different amounts of these hormones in their blood compared to obese people. The investigators hypothesize that exercise will promote improved insulin sensitivity and corresponding beneficial changes in obese individuals. The investigators predict exercise induced changes in 24-hour plasma hormone levels will be associated with improved appetite during overfeeding in obese individuals.
Novel barley varieties high in the soluble fiber β-glucan have the capacity to improve population health through improving glycemic control. Sweetened and unsweetened wholegrain barley foods were tested in a randomized, controlled, crossover human clinical trial to assess impact on postprandial appetite and food intake.
This study investigates the hormones that the body produces in response to food intake and in response to stress, and the way that stress influences food intake. In particular, it compares the hormone levels and food intake of people with and without binge eating disorder. In order to find out how these appetite- and stress-related hormones are linked to brain activity, the study also includes an fMRI scan, a non-invasive procedure that looks at which regions of the brain are most active during a food-related scenario.
This pilot study is a first step in looking at the relationship between exercise and appetite in women with loss of control eating.
Our goal is to examine linkages between physical activity, appetite control, and energy metabolism in adolescents. The investigators will assess metabolic function and appetite control in male and female adolescents stratified by bodyweight and physical activity using across-sectional study design.
This is a pilot clinical trial of oral iron therapy in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and mild anemia. Eligible children will be randomized into a standard of care (iron sulfate) arm vs. no iron therapy arm for 3 months. The outcomes will include muscle strength, physical activity, and changes in eating behavior, which will be measured at enrollment and at the end of the study period.
The proposed study is a randomized clinical trial investigating the effects of a weight gain and eating dysregulation prevention intervention among college freshmen women. It will compare Appetite Awareness Training (AAT) to a standard nutritional education group and a no treatment control group. Appetite Awareness Training approach to increasing eating regulation through training individuals to eat in response to their appetite cues rather than external or emotional cues.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate changes in appetite-regulating hormones, body composition (weight, body fat%), and hunger ratings in persons early in treatment with one of four atypical antipsychotic medications (olanzapine, risperidone, ziprasidone, aripiprazole).
The primary objective of the study was to determine the effects of 10-week adjunctive supplementation with 2 doses of LCn-3 fatty acids (fish oil) on cortical functional activity and biochemistry in adolescents with MDD. The primary prediction was that LCn-3 fatty acid supplementation would dose-dependently increase prefrontal cortical functional activation during sustained attention and increase regional biochemical indices of cortical metabolism and integrity concentrations in association with reductions in depressive symptoms.
This study will use functional magnetic resonance imaging to compare appetite-related brain activity in women with anorexia nervosa before and after receiving treatment for the disorder.
Randomized controlled trial of an exposure-based behavioral treatment (CBT) in adults with functional dyspepsia who meet criteria for avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) with weight loss.
The purpose of this study is to determine if sleep deprivation results in increased esophageal acid exposure in healthy controls and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients.
To obtain data on the safety of administering megestrol acetate and dronabinol as single agents or in combination to patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-wasting syndrome. To obtain preliminary data on the efficacy of single agent and combination therapy with megestrol acetate and dronabinol with regard to weight gain, appetite increase and quality of life in this patient population. To obtain steady-state pharmacokinetics data when megestrol acetate and dronabinol are administered as single agents and in combination. HIV-wasting syndrome, which is characterized by severely debilitating anorexia and weight loss, is of particular concern because it can exacerbate the primary illness and is associated with a poor prognosis. Attempts at maintaining body mass through the use of megestrol acetate and dronabinol, two anti-cachectic drugs, may prolong survival.
