Clinical Trial Summary

This is a mixed method feasibility randomized controlled trial to explore the feasibility and acceptability of therapist delivered, culturally adapted, manualized Ca-GBBB intervention for Eating Disorders (EDs) - Bulimia Nervosa (BN) and Bing Eating Disorder (BED) in Pakistan.


Clinical Trial Description

Evidence on psychological management of eating disorders in low and middle income countries ( LMICs) is limited, and non-existent in Pakistan. A Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) based guided self-help manual "Getting Better Bite by Bite: A Survival Kit for Sufferers of Bulimia Nervosa and Binge Eating Disorders" (GBBB), has found to be feasible and acceptable for patients with BN. Quantitative phase of this research aims to determine if the culturally adapted GBBB (Ca-GBBB) programme is feasible and acceptable for individuals with Eating disorders- BN and BED compared to treatment as usual. The qualitative part of the study will include focus groups and in-depth digitally recorded one-to-one interviews with participants by trained qualitative researchers at two time points both before and after the intervention. These focus groups and in-depth interviews will continue till the data saturation is achieved. Moreover, in-depth digitally-recorded interviews with stakeholders (nutritionists, dietitian, educationist, therapists, health professionals, etc) will also be conducted by trained researchers. ;
