Brain Stimulation for Obesity
Recruiting0 awardsPhase 2
Phoenix, Arizona
This trial will study whether electrical stimulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which is important in determining the feeling of fullness after eating, affects how much food a person eats and weight loss over 4 weeks. It will also compare weight changes in people who attend weight loss counseling sessions and those who do not over this period of time.

Dairy Fat for Obesity
Recruiting1 award2 criteria
Davis, California
This trial is testing if a component of dairy fat called milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) can reduce inflammation after eating high-fat meals. It targets people with metabolic syndrome or obesity, who are more prone to inflammation. The study will compare different shakes to see if adding MFGM makes a difference. Milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) is a component of dairy fat known for its anti-inflammatory properties and potential benefits on cardiometabolic health.

Tocotrienols for Obesity
Recruiting0 awardsPhase 1 & 2
Lubbock, Texas
This trial aims to see if taking tocotrienols (a type of vitamin E) for several months can help reduce obesity-related health issues in postmenopausal women by lowering inflammation. Tocotrienols are a subclass of vitamin E known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and have been studied for their potential to reduce obesity-related complications.
Behavioural Intervention
Fatty Acid Elevation for Obesity
Recruiting0 awardsPhase 1 & 2
New Haven, Connecticut
This trial involves giving healthy individuals either a fat solution or a saltwater solution to see how it affects their brain's ability to transport glucose. The study focuses on non-diabetic, normal weight people to understand how sudden increases in blood fatty acids impact brain energy use. Researchers hope to learn more about brain glucose transport in relation to obesity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
Is there any support for travel costs?
Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.
Will I know what medication I am taking?
This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.
How long do clinical trials last?
Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.
Do you verify all the trials on your website?
All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.
How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?
Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
