Impact GLP-1 Agonists Following Bariatric
Testing whether GLP-1 medicines after bariatric surgery affect weight and blood sugar
📍 University of Missouri Hospital · Columbia, MO · Get directions →
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a hormone that helps regulate blood glucose levels through improved insulin sensitivity and release of insulin from the pancreas, control hunger, induce satiety and plays a role in the metabolic health of a person. GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) have been shown to be effective in achieving weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes while improving blood glucose control.
- Migraine / chronic headache
Mechanistic Studies of Psilocybin in Headache Disorders
Testing how psilocybin may affect migraine headache symptoms
📍 VA Connecticut Healthcare System · West Haven, CT · Get directions →
In previous clinical trial work, the investigators observed lasting reductions in headache burden after limited dosing of psilocybin. This purpose of this study is to examine potential sources for this observed effect.
- Obesity / overweightHigh blood pressure
Cardiovascular Effects of Angiotensin-(1-7) in Obesity Hypertension
Testing whether angiotensin-(1-7) affects heart health in people with obesity and high blood
📍 Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center · Hershey, PA · Get directions →
Obesity is a global health concern that is associated with high blood pressure and an increased risk for developing cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study is to find out if the investigational drug angiotensin-(1-7) can improve cardiovascular health in people with obesity and high blood pressure.

Testing treatments to lower high pressure in liver veins in people with advanced liver disease and
📍 Cleveland Clinic Main Campus · Cleveland, OH · Get directions →
Cirrhosis is a form of advanced liver disease that can lead to serious complications, especially when combined with severe obesity. Many patients with cirrhosis also develop a condition called clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH), which is increased pressure in the veins of the liver.
- Migraine / chronic headache
A Study to Learn About the Safety of Taking an Additional Dose of the Medicine Rimegepant in Adults With Migraine
Testing how safe it is to take an extra dose of rimegepant for migraine
📍 Hope Clinical Research · Canoga Park, CA · +6 more US sites · Get directions →
Acute treatments for migraine may not provide sufficient pain relief after an initial dose, and a second dose of a given medication may be needed to fully abort an attack. International Headache Society (IHS) global practice recommendations for the Acute Treatment of Migraine suggest a second dose of the same medication within the recommended dose limit in people with headache relapse after successful initial treatment of a migraine attack.
