Food Reward in Cachexia Induced by Acute or Chronic Disease

NCT02798003 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 44

Last updated 2024-08-06

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

To study activity in the reward-circuitry of the brain in patients suffering from cachexia induced by cancer or chronic disease.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)

The food-cue elicited response in the reward-circuitry of the brain will be assessed by using fMRI. This technique is based on different magnetic properties of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. Increased neuronal activity causes an increase in blood flow. Thereby, neuronal activity is indirectly reflected by changes in blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) contrast.
