Stitch in time: new procedure aims to reverse fatty liver disease

NCT ID NCT06138821

Summary

This study is testing whether a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure to reduce stomach size, combined with lifestyle changes, is better than lifestyle changes alone for treating a serious fatty liver disease called MASH in people with obesity. Researchers will compare the two approaches in 132 participants to see which one better improves liver health and leads to weight loss over 12 months. The goal is to find a less invasive alternative to surgery for controlling this common liver condition.
