METABOLIC SYNDROME (METS)

This pilot study tests a temporary, flexible tube called a duodenal-jejunal bypass sleeve. It is placed in the upper intestine using an endoscope and left for 3 months to help with weight loss and improve metabolic syndrome. The study involves 20 adults with obesity or excess wei…

This study tests a procedure called pulsENDO that uses mild electric pulses to regenerate the lining of the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). The goal is to improve blood sugar control and reduce fat buildup in the liver for people with type 2 diabetes and fatty l…

This study will give fecal transplants to 90 people with recurrent C. difficile infection, ulcerative colitis, or metabolic syndrome. Researchers will use advanced tests on stool and tissue samples to track how donor bacteria settle in the gut and interact with the host. The goal…

This study looks at whether metabolic syndrome (a cluster of conditions like high blood pressure and excess belly fat) makes it harder to recover from a rotator cuff injury. Forty adults with rotator cuff tears will be split into two groups—those with and without metabolic syndro…

This study looks at how the amount and type of carbohydrates in your diet affect blood sugar, fats, and gut health. Twenty adults with or at risk for metabolic syndrome will eat four different carb diets in a random order. The goal is to understand which carb patterns are best fo…

This observational study looks at whether eating a diet that causes inflammation can make gum disease worse in people with metabolic syndrome. About 100 adults with metabolic syndrome will have their gum health checked and their diet analyzed using a special inflammation score. T…

This study looks at how metabolic syndrome (a cluster of conditions like high blood pressure and blood sugar) might make gum disease worse. Researchers will measure gum inflammation in 100 adults and compare it to their metabolic health. The goal is to see if a simple gum measure…
