Motivating Increases in Physical Activity for Prevention of Weight Regain After Metabolic Bariatric Surgery
NCT06484621 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a psychological intervention can increase regular physical activity to help prevent weight regain after metabolic bariatric surgery in adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the psychological intervention increase physical activity? 2. Does the psychological intervention prevent weight regain? 3. Does the psychological intervention increase internal motivation for physical activity and acceptance of the discomfort that can come with physical activity? Researchers will compare the psychological intervention to an educational intervention to see if the psychological intervention works to increase physical activity and prevent weight regain after metabolic bariatric surgery. Participants will: * Complete 12 months of either the psychological or educational intervention. This includes attending online workshops with a small group of participants, completing brief homework assignments, and having individual telephone calls with a counselor. * Wear a device to measure physical activity, use an electronic scale to measure body weight, and complete questionnaires at home on five separate occasions over an 18-month period

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06484621
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06484621 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 164 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Hartford Hospital, which has 112 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Obesity appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-Based Physical Activity Intervention is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06484621 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Connecticut. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
