NCT ID NCT07702149

First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study investigates whether a 12-week low-calorie diet can reduce tinnitus (ringing in the ears) in people who have both Behcet disease and obesity. Twenty participants will follow the diet, and researchers will measure changes in tinnitus severity, discomfort, and quality of life using standard questionnaires. The goal is to see if weight loss through diet restriction can ease this common ear-related symptom.
