Pilot Testing a Novel Approach to Pediatric Obesity Treatment
NCT06755827 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an emotion regulation and self-monitoring intervention can help treat overweight and obesity in teens. The main question it aims to answer is: * Does emotion regulation and self-monitoring help reduce biases in teens with overweight and obesity? * Do changes in biases relate to changes in health functioning and health behavior? Researchers will compare the intervention to the provision of educational handouts about overweight and obesity to see if the intervention is more effective. Participants will: * Complete self-report questionnaires, an fMRI scan, and have their blood drawn * Received educational handouts or attend weekly telehealth group sessions weekly for four weeks and be asked to self-monitor their mood and behavior between sessions * Return to complete the same questionnaires, fMRI and blood draw procedures

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06755827
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06755827 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 1, 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 30 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Texas Tech University, which has 119 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Overweight Adolescents appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Emotion regulation and self-monitoring to treat pediatric obesity 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: NCT06755827 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Texas. 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.
