Can day treatment beat full hospital stays for obese teens?
NCT ID NCT07652190
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether day hospitalization (going home at night) works as well as full-time hospital stays for teens aged 12-20 with severe obesity. About 126 participants will be followed to see how their weight changes six months after treatment ends. The goal is to find a less disruptive but effective treatment option.
