Filter by:This study aims to develop a manualized and culturally sensitive intervention for adolescent girls targeting binge and loss of control (LOC) eating. The investigators will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention in a controlled pilot trial. The investigators hypothesize that this intervention will serve to reduce binge and LOC eating, as well as improve psychosocial functioning as evidenced by decreased depression, anxiety, eating disorder cognitions, and impulsivity, and improved quality of life.
To evaluate the efficacy of SPD489 compared to placebo in the treatment of moderate to severe binge eating disorder as measured by the number of binge days per week
The proposed study will employ a randomized design to evaluate the efficacy of two group-based guided self-help treatments: Integrative Response Therapy (IRT) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy Guided Self-Help, a treatment of known efficacy, in group-format (CBT-GSHg) in the treatment of Binge Eating Disorder (BED), and explore (1) moderators and mediators of treatment, (2) the relative cost-effectiveness of the two treatments, and (3) between group differences on secondary measures (e.g., eating disorder and general psychopathology).
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has documented efficacy for the treatment of binge eating disorder (BED). Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) has been shown to reduce binge eating but its long-term impact and time course on other BED-related symptoms remain largely unknown. This study compares the effects of group CBT and group IPT across BED-related symptoms among overweight individuals with BED.

A substantial percentage of individuals with bulimia nervosa (BN) also meet criteria for a co-occurring substance use disorder, such as alcohol abuse or dependence; however, research examining this sub-group of patients with BN is limited. Understanding characteristics common to both eating and alcohol use disorders may enhance understanding of the mechanisms that could contribute to the co-occurrence and perpetuation of these disorders. Individuals with BN and alcohol use disorders appear to share some behavioral traits, and therefore, the primary aim of the current study is to compare patients with BN with and without an alcohol use disorder and normal controls on measures assessing an individual's mood and ability to perform certain tasks. Participants will be asked to complete computer-administered and paper-and-pencil assessments and two laboratory test meals on separate days. By probing the underpinnings of BN and alcohol use disorders, the investigators can determine whether these disorders have a shared diathesis, which will lay an essential foundation for future research to examine biological and genetic correlates of these disorders. Finally, as little is known about the treatment of patients with BN and a co-occurring alcohol use disorder, an exploratory aim of the current study is evaluate the suitability and efficacy of a 20-session cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) addressing both bulimic symptoms and alcohol use.
This study is being conducted to evaluate the effects that the drug pramipexole has on mood, food craving, and other behaviors that may be related to binge eating disorder.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of daily doses of RDC-0313 (ALKS 33) compared with placebo in adults with binge-eating disorder (BED). An additional objective is to explore the efficacy of RDC-0313 treatment in comparison with placebo in adults with binge-eating disorder.
The STRATOB study is a two-arm randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT). The aims of this study are to compare the effectiveness of the BST (Brief Strategic Therapy) with the gold standard CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) in a inpatient and telephone-based outpatient program in a sample of obese people with BED (Binge Eating Disorder) seeking treatment for weight reduction.
The specific aim of this study is to examine the efficacy and safety of lisdexamfetamine compared with placebo in outpatients with binge eating disorder
