NCT ID NCT07425093
First seen Feb 20, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a 12-week walking program could change brain structure in 22 overweight adults who also had headaches. Participants either followed a diet plus walking or diet alone. Researchers measured brain gray and white matter volumes with MRI scans before and after the program. The goal was to see if exercise-related fat loss might benefit the brain.
