Clinical Trial: Effects of Noninvasive Brain Stimulation on Brain Activity and Appetite
Study Status: Recruiting
Recruit Status: Recruiting
Study Type: Interventional
Official Title:
Brief Summary: The goal of this project is to identify brain mechanisms by which Noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) could decrease hyperphagia. The investigators will synchronously deliver NIBS and measure brain activity in a randomized, crossover, sham-controlled, fully blind study. This work will reveal brain mechanisms to reduce hyperphagia and may contribute to new therapeutic avenues to treat this eating disorder.
