NCT ID NCT03867344
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study at Brigham and Women's Hospital looked at how a moderately low blood sugar stress affects the brain and nervous system in 74 healthy adults. Participants underwent a procedure to lower blood sugar while brain scans measured changes in key brain regions. The goal was to understand how non-psychological stress impacts brain networks that control automatic body functions like heart rate and breathing.
