Summary
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 liver disease. The trial will enroll 40 adults who have not achieved good blood sugar control with oral medications.

Active substance
pulsENDO procedure (electric pulses to regenerate the duodenum)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new, non-surgical way to improve blood sugar control and reduce fatty liver in people with type 2 diabetes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The procedure involves endoscopy and carries risks like bleeding or infection.
