ADOB Trial Summary
This trial will use MRI to study how the brain causes overeating in obese and non-obese adolescents.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for boys and girls aged 13-18 living in Colorado. It's not suitable for those with claustrophobia, eating disorders like anorexia or bulimia, metal implants that aren't MRI-safe, very low body weight or BMI, metabolic syndrome or diabetes, those on antipsychotic meds, or who are pregnant.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study investigates how the adolescent brain responds to excess energy (like overeating) using brain scans called functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). It aims to understand the link between brain activity and overeating in teens with and without obesity.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
There are no direct side effects from the interventions being studied since it involves non-invasive brain imaging. However, participants may experience discomfort from lying still during the fMRI scan.
