Scientists test magnetic brain zaps to understand extreme hunger disorder
NCT ID NCT05938543
Summary
This research study aims to understand how a noninvasive brain stimulation technique might affect the constant hunger experienced by people with Prader-Willi syndrome. Researchers will use magnetic pulses directed at the brain (transcranial magnetic stimulation) while measuring brain activity with MRI scans in 20 participants. The study is primarily focused on learning how this approach affects brain circuits related to hunger and fullness, rather than providing treatment.
