External Carotid Blood Flow in Individuals With Post-Bariatric Hypoglycemia

NCT07082478 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

This is a pilot study (small-scale study) that aims to understand more about how blood flow changes in people who have low blood sugar after bariatric surgery (post-bariatric hypoglycemia) compared to those who have had surgery without hypoglycemia, those who have hypoglycemia without surgery, or those who do not experience low blood sugar. This study has two phases. This is the first phase, and the purpose is to test comfort and feasibility of a novel in-ear wearable device (Lumia Health) that measures blood flow changes to the head. Information from the study will help the investigators determine if the device is suitable to be used in the second phase of the study.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07082478

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07082478 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, 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 5 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Joslin Diabetes Center, which has 87 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 Hypoglycemia appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which in-ear device measuring blood flow 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: NCT07082478 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Massachusetts. 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.
