Filter by:This study aims to investigate neuroendocrine, autonomic functioning, and energy metabolism in patients with eating disorder and their relationships with psychopathology of eating disorders (eating patterns, depression, and personality) in these patients.
The purpose of this research study is to test the safety of duloxetine and see what effects (good and bad) it has on the subject's binge eating disorder and comorbid depressive disorder (depression occurring with binge eating disorder) compared to placebo (inactive pill).
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of adding nutritional counseling to cognitive behavioral therapy in treating obese people with binge eating disorder.
The ultimate aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that the oral cholecystokinin (CCK) agonist GSKI181771X will reduce the size of a binge meal among individuals with Bulimia Nervosa. The study will be conducted in phases. First, an effective dose for reducing food intake, when normal subjects eat normally will be attained. Next, it will be determined whether intake at this dose is reduced in control subjects instructed to eat to capacity. If the dose is still effective compared to placebo, the same dose will be tested in patients with bulimia nervosa.
This study will test the effectiveness of two empirically-supported but distinct treatments for recurrent binge eating in obese patients: 1) Cognitive Behavior Therapy, using a pure self-help approach and 2) sibutramine, an anti-obesity medication also found to have efficacy for binge eating. Self-help Cognitive Behavior Therapy and sibutramine will be administered alone and in combination in a primary care setting.
This study is a test of cognitive behavioral therapy(CBT) and behavioral weight loss (BWL) treatments for obese patients with binge eating disorder (BED). The study involves a comparison of three treatment conditions: (1) CBT; (2) BWL, and (3) a sequential (two-part) treatment consisting of CBT followed by BWL.
The claire project is a research study testing the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help teenage girls develop healthier eating habits and better ways to manage weight and shape concerns. The study is enrolling girls who are members of the Kaiser Permanente Health plan in the Northwest region. They must be between the ages of 12 and 18 and report binge eating and/or purging (vomiting, laxative or diuretic use) at a research established threshold to be eligible for the study. Girls enrolled in the study will either receive the 6-20 session CBT intervention at the time of enrollment or 6 months after they enroll. Assessments including questions about eating behaviors, mood, and general functioning are given on enrollment in the study, and 3- and 6-months following enrollment (also at 9- and 12-months for those in the delayed treatment condition).
The primary hypotheses are: - A procedurally distinct family therapy is an effective and essential way to reduce bingeing and purging in adolescents with BN, and leads to the long-term amelioration of bulimic symptoms. - Family therapy is an effective way to bring about meaningful improvements in family interaction. - Family therapy will produce significantly larger reductions in bulimic symptoms and improved family interaction in adolescents with BN compared to a control supportive psychotherapy.
This is a research study designed to examine the effectiveness of an obesity medication (orlistat) given in addition to behavioral weight loss therapy. Participants will be obese monolingual (Spanish-speaking only) men and women.
The purpose of this research study is to study the effectiveness, tolerability and safety of sodium oxybate in outpatients with binge eating disorder.
