Low back pain is the leading cause of disability in the United States, and obesity is a major risk factor for its development. GLP-1 receptor agonists such as Semaglutide have emerged as effective weight loss agents that may also reduce chronic pain through weight reduction and other mechanisms. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial will enroll 250 adults with chronic low back pain and obesity, randomized 1:1 to weekly Semaglutide 2.4 mg or placebo for 52 weeks. The primary outcome is change in low back pain severity, with secondary outcomes including pain-related disability and quality of life.

The main purpose of the study is to collect information about how the device functions in a variety of treatment areas and skin types and to find out what changes, if any, occur in the skin treated with the study device compared to the skin that wasn't treated including patients receiving GLP-1's, a class of medications that mimic a natural hormone to help control blood sugar and support weight loss. The study will also evaluate side effects that occur with this treatment, if any. Standardized 2D Imaging will be used to quantify reduction of wrinkle severity

The purpose of this study is to compare change in pelvic floor symptoms between patients receiving medical therapy for weight loss and surgical treatment for weight loss. Examples of pelvic floor symptoms include urinary incontinence, urinary urgency, urinary frequency, fecal incontinence, and vaginal prolapse. Participants in this study do not need to have any pelvic floor symptoms to enroll in the study. Understanding how different types of weight loss treatment impact pelvic floor symptoms will help clinicians guide which weight loss treatments are recommended for patients with pelvic floor symptoms in the future.
