Endocrinology & Metabolic Disorders

Endocrinology and metabolic disorders encompass a wide range of conditions that affect the body’s hormonal balance and metabolism. The endocrine system is a network of glands that produce and release hormones that help control many important body functions.

Common endocrine and metabolic conditions include diabetes, thyroid disorders, osteoporosis, sexual dysfunction, obesity, PCOS and adrenal insufficiency. These conditions can have significant impacts on daily life, causing fatigue, weight changes, mental health challenges and long-term complications like heart disease or kidney failure.

Current treatments typically involve medication, lifestyle changes, and hormone replacement therapies to manage symptoms. However, ongoing research is aimed at finding more effective treatments. Exciting developments include advanced insulin therapies for diabetes, new drugs targeting thyroid conditions, and innovative solutions for metabolic disorders like obesity.

Clinical research plays a critical role in these advancements. By participating in clinical trials, individuals contribute to the development of new therapies, leading to improved quality of life and better outcomes for those affected by endocrine and metabolic disorders. 

Momentum Clinical Research has significantly contributed to advancing medical knowledge in endocrinology by conducting clinical studies across various conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome.

Recent research has included studies focusing on:

• Investigating a potential new treatment in which researchers want to learn if the study medication helps people who are overweight and with Type 2 Diabetes control their blood sugar levels.
• Researching a potential treatment for people diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes who are on a stable dose of Metformin.
• Evaluating if a potential new medication will help people living with Type 2 Diabetes lose weight.
• Exploring how effectively a potential new medication can improve blood sugar levels and help with weight loss in people with Type 2 diabetes and a BMI of 30 or higher.
