This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a structured low-calorie diet over 12 weeks can help people with Behçet disease who have excess weight and experience tinnitus (ringing in both ears). Half of the 40 participants will follow the diet program, while the other half will be placed on a waiting list. Researchers want to understand whether weight loss through diet changes might improve symptoms or help manage this chronic condition.
Behçet disease is a rare condition that causes inflammation throughout the body, and some people with this disease also experience tinnitus. There is growing interest in understanding whether lifestyle factors like weight and diet might play a role in managing symptoms, particularly for people dealing with multiple health concerns at once.

If you are selected for the diet group, you will follow a low-calorie eating plan for 12 weeks. If you are selected for the waiting list group, you will not receive the diet intervention during this period but may have the opportunity later. The study lasts 12 weeks and will likely involve check-ins to monitor your progress and any changes in your symptoms.
