Trial summary

Was performed a longitudinal, study with twenty patients recruited for the bariatric surgery group and 20 for clinical treatment. The analysis of HRV and endothelial function were performed through peripheral arterial tonometry, in patients with obesity before and after three months of bariatric surgery.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Heart Rate Variability and Endothelial Function Three Months After Bariatric

Was performed a longitudinal, study with twenty patients recruited for the bariatric surgery group and 20 for clinical treatment. The analysis of HRV and endothelial function were performed through peripheral arterial tonometry, in patients with obesity before and after three months of bariatric surgery. Were also analyzed GLP-1, insulin and glucose at fast, and 30 and 60 minutes. The results were compared in parallel with a control group with clinical treatment for obesity.

Read the detailed description

To assess the pathophysiological mechanisms that leads the benefits in cardiovascular risk after bariatric surgery, through the autonomic nervous system and endothelial function, was performed a longitudinal, study with twenty patients recruited for the bariatric surgery group and 20 for clinical treatment.

The analysis of HRV and endothelial function were performed through peripheral arterial tonometry, in patients with obesity before and after three months of bariatric surgery.

Were also analyzed GLP-1, insulin and glucose at fast, and 30 and 60 minutes. The results were compared in parallel with a control group with clinical treatment for obesity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bariatric Surgery in people with Obesity, run by Rio de Janeiro State University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate variability and endothelial function (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03911479, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Apr 2019.
