MRI study aims to unravel why some people feel dizzy after eating
NCT ID NCT07381816
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses MRI scans to measure blood flow in the gut after drinking sugar water in people with postprandial hypotension (a drop in blood pressure after meals) and healthy volunteers. Researchers will test whether blocking a hormone called GIP changes blood flow patterns. The goal is to better understand what causes this condition, not to test a new treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- GIP(3-30)NH2 infusion, hangrip exercises, saline infusion
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could clarify how gut blood flow changes after eating in people with postprandial hypotension, potentially pointing toward new ways to manage the condition.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage observational study with only 30 participants. It is not testing a treatment, so it may not lead directly to any therapy.
