A lot of studies that provide money have contracts that you have to sign and you would have to read the fine print in order to find out exactly what terms are specified in the study. A lot of times when people sign up for things it is just a "go ahead and sign and date on the x" most people want to get the paperwork over with and they just sign without reading every last detail. Some places will work with you depending on the way you go about it. Call the clinic where the study took place and ask to speak to a manager. If they do not work with you, then I am sure that you could have a lawyer read over the contract or terms to see if there are any legal matters to take care of. It will most likely cost you more in lawyer fees and court costs and time than the actual money you will get in the end.

Of course, you can sue over anything in the US (and many do).
Question becomes 1) how much money did they promise you (to determine if this is small claims court or not), and 2) do you have a written contract or was it simply an oral representation (doesn't necessarily mean you don't have a case, but your approach may be different if you don't have it in writing.
And, of course, if it's worth your time and energy.

Depends if you had a contract. If it states that you are to be paid after you complete the study then yes. Or if you have prof that you took part in study and it was know they were paying the guiny pigs lol

Yes if they breached the terms of the agreement. Problem is that they are likely to claim you either didn't have a valid agreement or you didn't comply with the terms (even if it is a pedantic reason).
If it is not a lot of money then don't waste your time just move on with a lesson learned.

well, was your pay based on how much weight you lost? It may be possible that they don't owe you anything, if you signed something, check it over. But if you are 100% sure that they owe you, yeah, you can sue for anything that you are truely owed.

If they said they'd pay you.
And if there wasn't any "We'll pay you if... *a certain result happens*"
But then again, yes. You can sue them for whatever the heck you want.
