      Episodic Future Thinking for Type 2 Diabetes

      Roanoke, Virginia
      Successful management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) requires adherence to a dietary, physical activity, and medication plan agreed upon between a patient and their healthcare providers. The lifestyle changes involved in these collaborative care plans (CCPs) often provide little to no short-term benefit and may instead be aversive (e.g., caloric restriction and physical activity). However, these changes provide critical health benefits in the future, allowing patients with T2D to halt or reverse disease progression and avoid T2D-related complications (e.g., renal disease or diabetic retinopathy). Thus, successful management of T2D requires one's present behavior to be guided by future outcomes. Unfortunately, accumulating evidence indicates that individuals with T2D and prediabetes show elevated rates of delay discounting (i.e., devaluation of delayed consequences). Moreover, high rates of delay discounting are cross-sectionally and longitudinally associated with poor treatment adherence and clinical outcomes in T2D and prediabetes. These data suggest that high rates of delay discounting prevent successful management of T2D through a mechanism in which the health benefits of lifestyle changes are too delayed to motivate behavioral change. Thus, we believe delay discounting serves as a therapeutic target in T2D, where improving participants' valuation of the future will facilitate healthy lifestyle changes and, in turn, improve T2D management. This study will conduct a randomized 24-week remote clinical trial comparing repeated measures ANOVA, with group (episodic future thinking \[EFT\]/control) and area (urban vs. rural) as between-subjects factors, and time (baseline, week 8, and week 24 assessments) as within-subjects factors in adults with type 2 diabetes.

      Increased Water Intake + Diet for Weight Control in Older Adults

      Blacksburg, Virginia
      This study is a randomized controlled intervention trial in adults aged 50+ years with overweight or obesity, which will compare three groups with different diet prescriptions: 1) pre-meal water consumption (500 ml, before each main meal) with a hypocaloric diet; 2) 1500 ml water consumed throughout the day with a hypocaloric diet; 3) hypocaloric diet with no instructions regarding water consumption. Smart water bottles will objectively assess water intake timing and volume. Urine osmolality, urine volume, and serum osmolality will be used as objective indicators of compliance with the water intake prescription. We will investigate changes in perceived hunger and fullness and appetite-regulating hormones as potential mechanisms by which premeal water could improve appetite regulation. We will also investigate the impact of water consumption and hydration on executive function capabilities, which may influence intervention adherence. Although increasing water intake could be an effective weight management strategy, no evidence-based recommendations exist for the timing of water intake needed for this benefit.

      Lifestyle Interventions for Chronic Disease

      Lewisburg, West Virginia
      Developed nations worldwide are currently enduring a health crisis, as chronic diseases continue to decrease quality of life and promote additional disease states or even death for much of the population. Rural populations are at a particular disadvantage, as they lack access to health clubs, wellness programs and similar resources that are more available in urban areas. Although pharmaceutical therapies have continued to show therapeutic advancements, the rates of disease onset and death from chronic disease has not seen similar improvements, and in fact continue to worsen. Excitingly, significant evidence has been published demonstrating an affordable, effective treatment to directly treat and prevent these chronic diseases, but few have demonstrated successful implementation of this therapy, which is improved lifestyle. Specifically, physical activity and healthy body composition are powerful therapeutics that have been demonstrated to effectively combat and prevent chronic diseases. Additionally, improving these lifestyle factors are often more effective than pharmaceutical interventions without the wide range of side effects. Unfortunately, barriers exist on multiple tiers in the practice of family medicine that demote the implementation of lifestyle medicine. To better serve patients at risk of, or suffering from chronic disease, the investigators are seeking to establish a lifestyle medicine prescription program for rural West Virginia. This program will provide patient education on the benefits of physical activity, body composition, and help patients identify strategies to implement healthy lifestyle choices that can be sustainable for the long-term. Patients will be advised on local opportunities to increase physical activity (yoga studio, martial arts, fitness facilities, aquatic center, etc.) and provided access to the facilities they are most likely to adhere to regularly. They will also be provided training on exercise techniques, equipment, and facilities to increase familiarity and comfort in these settings.

      Mobile Intervention for Pain and Obesity

      Winston-Salem, North Carolina
      Chronic pain is a pervasive and costly health condition among older adults that is associated with wide-ranging adverse health outcomes including falls, declining mobility, and increasing functional disability. Obesity exacerbates many of these health issues, contributing to a higher frequency of intractable pain episodes, increased pain severity, multi-site pain, and the use of stronger opioid medications compared to normal weight individuals with chronic pain. In addition, older adults who suffer from chronic pain are significantly more sedentary than those without chronic pain. Despite evidence relating increased sedentary behavior to pain, non-pharmacological treatments have largely focused on structured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) by way of conventional forms of exercise. Recent evidence from an intervention designed to decreased sedentary behavior (SB) demonstrated the approach is effective in preventing weight regain following weight loss. A subsequent study-a mobile intervention to reduce pain and improve health (MORPH: Wake Forest Baptist Health institutional review board \[IRB\] 00046364)-demonstrated that a primarily home-delivered intervention (9 of 12 delivered in home; 3 of 12 delivered in a research center) supported by technology can produce significant weight loss, reductions in sedentary time, increases in daily steps, less pain intensity, and better physical function compared with a waitlist control. MORPH included a focus on dietary weight loss plus movement across the day through a combination of group telecoaching and a custom mobile health (mHealth) application, but results indicated that participants did not internalize the day-long movement intervention. Instead, they appeared to achieve a greater number of steps through conventional walking exercise, allowing for high levels of sitting, stiffness, and pain. MORPH concluded with a two-group randomized controlled pilot trial (RCT) in obese (BMI=30-45 kg/m2), low-active, older (55-85 years) adults with chronic pain who were randomized to either 12-weeks of active intervention or a wait-list control. This study represents an extension of MORPH-hereafter MORPH II-with the intention of immediately addressing limitations in the original MORPH study. Participants will be randomize 30 older, low-active, obese adults to the active intervention or to a standard control for 12 weeks. To build upon the last phase of MORPH, the research team will deliver this intervention fully remotely, providing cellular data-equipped tablet computers to protect participant safety and reduce technical issues that may arise due to lack of face-to-face orientation appointments. Given the current COVID-19 climate, the investigators have chosen to deliver the entire intervention remotely. The investigators are implementing intensive individual coaching throughout the program and greater emphasis on frequent movement to drive better uptake of a day-long movement program and will transition participants to a 12-week no-contact follow-up to observe whether behavior change sustains following completion of the focused intervention. This study is couched within a contemporary engineering-inspired design framework-the multiphase optimization strategy (MOST)-which emphasizes rapid identification of successful intervention components and the removal or redesign of components that are either ineffective or perceived as a nuisance. To this end, the study team will carry momentum from MORPH into MORPH II wherein the team will assess the impact of a fully remote MORPH intervention with the addition of high-contact coaching on pain ratings, physical function, levels of physical activity and sedentary behavior, and body weight. This is particularly timely given limited access to center-based resources for many during the COVID-19 pandemic, and especially those who are high-risk, including older adults with chronic pain. Aims and Hypotheses Specific Aim 1: To conduct a pilot RCT to provide initial evidence for the effect size associated with the proposed intervention on pain, sitting time, and daily steps. Investigators will also explore the impact of this program on social connection (i.e., relatedness) and physical function. Hypothesis 1: It is expected that the provision of the in-home application to contribute to clinically meaningful improvements in pain ratings and steps and a reduction in daily sedentary time compared to the control condition. Specific Aim 2: To examine whether a socially mediated, home-delivered health intervention produces lasting behavior change over a 12-week no-contact period. Hypothesis 2: It is expected that levels of physical activity at week 24 will remain meaningfully improved over baseline in the intervention condition relative to the control.

      Why Other Patients Applied

      "I am applying for my daughter. She turns 12 this year and is overweight. She's 5'4" and 176 pounds. Would be great to enroll her in a clinical trial to see if this form of care could work for her. Realize that there's no guarantee, but I support her and we'd like to give it a try."

      MW
      Parent of PatientAge: 46

      "I have a heart condition, and my fat is all in my chest, surrounding my heart. It's hard for me to exercise because my legs are thin and the upper body weight is too much — putting strain on my leg joints. It’s a vicious cycle. I am also post-menopausal, which adds additional weight loss difficulty. I also have stress with being a full time caregiver for my mom. I'm interested in trying a clinical trial."

      DK
      Obesity PatientAge: 56

      "I changed my diet in 2020 and I’ve lost 95 pounds from my highest weight (283). I am 5’3”, female, and now 188. I still have a 33 BMI. I've been doing research on alternative approaches to continue my progress, which brought me here to consider clinical trials."

      WR
      Obesity PatientAge: 58

      "I have tried to lose weight, but as I get older, it becomes harder and harder. I have lost weight in the past through diet and exercise, but it has been more difficult to accomplish as I age."

      CagriSema for Obesity

      Greensboro, North Carolina
      This study will look at how well CagriSema helps people living with obesity to lose weight and maintain the weight loss long-term. The study has 2 parts: The first part is called 'the main study' and the second part is called 'the extension study'. In the main study participants will either get CagriSema (a study medicine) or placebo (a dummy medicine that looks like CagriSema but has no active ingredient). Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participants are two times more likely to get CagriSema than placebo. If participants get CagriSema in the main study, participants will continue on CagriSema in the extension study. Which dose of CagriSema participants will continue on is decided by chance. If participants get placebo in the main study, participants will get CagriSema in the extension study. Participants will take one injection of study medicine once a week. The study will last for about 3 years and 3 months.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How much do Obesity clinical trials in Roanoke, VA pay?

      Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

      How do Obesity clinical trials in Roanoke, VA work?

      After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Obesity trials in Roanoke, VA 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length in Roanoke, VA for Obesity is 12 months.

      How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

      Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility in Roanoke, VA several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

      What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

      The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

      Do I need to be insured to participate in a Obesity medical study in Roanoke, VA?

      Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

      What are the newest Obesity clinical trials in Roanoke, VA?

      Most recently, we added Vibegron for Obesity, Virtual Housecalls for Childhood Obesity and Etanercept Dosing for Arthritis to the Power online platform.

      What is the new treatment for obesity?

      The “new” treatments are weekly injections of GLP-1–based drugs such as semaglutide (Wegovy) and the dual GIP/GLP-1 drug tirzepatide (Zepbound), which curb appetite and slow stomach emptying; in large trials they helped adults lose roughly 15-22 % of their starting weight over 12–18 months when combined with diet and exercise. They are prescription-only, must be used long-term to keep the weight off, and while most side-effects are mild stomach upset, they can be expensive and require close medical follow-up—so you and your clinician should weigh these pros and cons against other options like older pills, bariatric surgery, and structured lifestyle programs.

      How much do I get paid for a clinical trial?

      There is no single rate, but in the U.S. healthy-volunteer Phase I studies usually pay about $75–$150 for a short outpatient visit or $300–$500 per overnight, adding up to roughly $1,500–$6,000 for a multi-day study; later-phase trials for people who already have the illness typically offer a smaller stipend—often $25–$100 per visit—plus travel reimbursement. Amounts are set case-by-case by the study sponsor and ethics board, based on the time you give up, the inconvenience or discomfort involved (blood draws, overnight stays, special diets), and any out-of-pocket costs, and they must be prorated so you can stop at any time and still receive payment for the visits you’ve completed.

      How much weight can you lose with ESG surgery?

      Large studies find that people lose roughly 15–20 % of their starting weight after endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty—about 30–50 lb if you begin at 200–250 lb—and most keep the bulk of that off for at least two years when they stay in a structured nutrition and activity program. Your exact result can be higher or lower depending on your initial BMI, how closely you follow the dietary and lifestyle plan, and whether you attend regular follow-up visits with the bariatric team.

      What weight is considered obese?

      For adults, obesity starts at a body-mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m²—so take your height in metres, square it, and multiply by 30 to see the weight cut-off. Example: 5′4″ (1.63 m) → 1.63² × 30 ≈ 88 kg / 194 lb; 6′0″ (1.83 m) → 1.83² × 30 ≈ 102 kg / 225 lb. BMI is only a quick gauge—muscle mass, ethnicity, waist size, and other health factors matter too—so use it as a starting point and confirm risks with your healthcare professional.

      Who is eligible for tirzepatide?

      Tirzepatide is eligible for adults in two settings: (1) as Mounjaro to improve blood-sugar control in type-2 diabetes, and (2) as Zepbound for weight management if you have obesity (BMI ≥ 30) or are overweight (BMI ≥ 27) with at least one related condition such as high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol, sleep apnea, heart disease, or type-2 diabetes. You are NOT a candidate if you’re pregnant, under 18, or have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN-2; your doctor will also screen for issues like pancreatitis, severe stomach problems, or other risks before prescribing. In short, meeting the diabetes or weight criteria and having no major contraindications makes you a potential candidate, but final approval comes after a thorough medical review.

      What tests are done for unexplained weight gain?

      Doctors usually start with a history and physical exam, then order a small “baseline” panel—complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel (kidney + liver), fasting glucose/HbA1c, cholesterol, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and a pregnancy test in women of child-bearing age. If exam findings point to a specific cause, they add focused tests: e.g., cortisol or prolactin for suspected hormone tumors, sex-hormone and ultrasound for possible PCOS, heart or kidney studies for fluid retention, or imaging of the pituitary/adrenal glands. In short, everyone gets the core labs, and any further blood work or scans are chosen only when your symptoms or medications suggest a particular problem.

      Can a morbidly obese person lose weight without surgery?

      Yes. Rigorous studies show that people with class III (“morbid”) obesity can shed 6-8 % of their starting weight through weekly lifestyle-coaching programs, and often 15-20 % when the same program is paired with new once-a-week injections such as semaglutide (Wegovy) or tirzepatide (Zepbound); endoscopic sleeve procedures add another non-surgical option in the same range. Because even a 5-10 % loss markedly improves blood pressure, diabetes and sleep-apnea, doctors usually start with dietitian-guided eating plans, gradual activity and behaviour counselling, then add medication if weight hasn’t dropped by about 5 % after three months—saving surgery for those who still need more help.

      How to get rid of fat deposits on legs?

      You can’t melt fat from your legs alone, so aim for gradual overall weight loss (a modest calorie deficit built around whole foods) while doing both full-body cardio and leg-strength exercises such as squats or lunges 2-3 times a week—the combo burns calories and builds muscle that makes legs look firmer as fat comes off. If your legs stay disproportionately large, painful or bruise easily, ask a clinician about lipedema or other medical causes, because lifestyle changes help most people but specialised treatment is sometimes needed.

      How to get Ozempic for weight loss?

      Ozempic (semaglutide) can be prescribed for weight loss, but it is technically an off-label use; most clinicians instead start with the weight-loss version of the same drug, Wegovy. To pursue either one, confirm you meet typical criteria (BMI ≥30, or ≥27 with a weight-related condition), then see a primary-care doctor, endocrinologist, or an obesity-medicine/telehealth service that can review your labs, rule out contraindications, and submit any required prior-authorization to your insurer or the manufacturer’s savings program. Expect a gradual dose-escalation schedule, routine follow-ups for side-effects such as nausea, and the need to pair the medication with diet and activity changes to maintain the ~15 % average weight loss seen in clinical trials.

      Which drink is good for belly fat loss?

      No drink can “melt” belly fat on its own; losing abdominal fat still comes down to taking in fewer calories than you burn. The most studied helpers are plain water (pre-meal water can curb appetite), unsweetened green tea or black coffee (their caffeine and, for green tea, catechins give a small metabolic boost). Choose these without added sugar, pair them with balanced meals and regular exercise, and they can support—rather than drive—belly-fat loss.
