Evaluating a 12-Week Low-Calorie Diet for Adults with Behcet Disease, Obesity, and Tinnitus Aged 40 to 55

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating the effects of a low-calorie diet on adults aged 40 to 55 who have Behcet Disease, obesity, and bilateral subjective tinnitus. The study aims to evaluate whether dietary restriction can help manage tinnitus symptoms associated with these conditions. This interventional trial is sponsored by Cairo University and uses a randomized, single-blind parallel design. Participants will be divided into two groups one group of 20 will follow a 12-week low-calorie diet regimen, while the other 20 participants will be on a waitlist without intervention. The study compares these two groups to assess the impact of diet restriction on tinnitus severity and related health factors over the 12-week period. During the study, participants will be assessed using several measures including the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory, visual analog scales for tinnitus severity and discomfort, and the Tinnitus Reaction Scale after 12 weeks. Additional evaluations include waist circumference, body mass index, anxiety and depression scales, life satisfaction, Behcet disease quality of life, and insomnia severity. These assessments help researchers understand the broader effects of the diet on participants health and quality of life.
