NCT ID NCT07290075
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 101 adults who had weight-loss surgery at least three months earlier. Researchers asked about changes in taste and smell, and how those changes relate to hunger and diet quality. The goal is to understand whether sensory shifts make it harder to eat well after surgery.
