An interventional study of Weight loss plus self-compassion in Overweight and Obesity, sponsored by East Carolina University. Status unknown at 2 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-11-14.
Sponsored by East Carolina University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The goal of clinical trial is to test a novel weight loss approach combining a standard weight loss and internalized weight bias intervention with self-compassion exercises in overweight adults with moderate to high levels of internalized weight bias. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: 1) Can participants lose significant weight loss and 2) significantly reduce internalized weight bias. Participants will take part in a 12 week novel weight loss approach combining a standard weight loss and internalized weight bias intervention with self-compassion exercises using videoconferencing software.

The main question[s] it aims to answer are: 1) Can participants lose significant weight loss and 2) significantly reduce internalized weight bias. Participants will take part in a 12-week novel weight loss approach combining a standard weight loss and internalized weight bias intervention with self-compassion exercises using videoconferencing software. The weight loss approach will be modeled after the Diabetes Prevention Program and the approach utilized to reduce internalized weight bias will be Kristen Neff's self-compassion intervention. Each weekly session will utilize Webex videoconferencing software and last approximately 60-90 minutes.

Started Sep 2023 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for May 2024, 7 months after the start.
Of 1,356 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Overweight, half reached primary completion within 18 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 38. This study's planned 7 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 1,472 studies reached it within 17 months; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 36.
