Electric pulses and stomach reshaping: a new hope for diabesity?
NCT ID NCT07660445
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a new approach for people with obesity and type 2 diabetes. It combines two procedures done through the mouth: one uses mild electric pulses to regenerate the lining of the upper intestine, and the other reduces stomach size by stitching it like a sleeve. The goal is to see if this combination helps with weight loss and blood sugar control. The trial is currently recruiting 20 participants in Hong Kong.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
pulsed electric field (via pulsENDO catheter) and endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new, less invasive option to help people with obesity and type 2 diabetes better control their weight and blood sugar, potentially reducing their need for diabetes medications.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage trial with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The procedures are new and carry risks like any endoscopic intervention, and it is not yet known if benefits will last long-term.
