Effects of Noninvasive Brain Stimulation on Brain Activity and Appetite

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Hyperphagia

• Registration Number: NCT02758262
• Lead Sponsor: Laval University

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.
