Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to study the effect of Radically Open Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (RO-DBT) in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) in an extended baseline experimental case series study design over 30 weeks. The main questions the trial aims to answer are: 1. Does RO-DBT reduce eating disorder psychopathology in AN as measured by the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q)? 2. Does RO-DBT reduce maladaptive overcontrol and neuroticism in AN as measured by change in the total score of the Five-Factor Obsessive Compulsive Inventory (FFOCI-SF), and the neuroticism domain in the NEO Five-Factor Inventory-3 (NEOFFI-3), respectively? 3. Does RO-DBT reduce emotional dysregulation in AN as measured by change in the Expressive Supression subscore of Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ)? 4. Does RO-DBT increase body weight as measured by change in Body Mass Index (BMI)?


Description:

Anorexia nervosa (AN) demonstrate high chronicity rates and high mortality rates. The prevalence of AN is relatively high with no effective treatment available and often long treatment durations and high dropout rates. Emotional dysregulation (EDR), neuroticism and maladaptive overcontrol (MO) are essential in the psychopathology of AN and directly involved in the high mortality and chronicity of the disorder. Radically Open Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (RO-DBT) addresses MO and has been found effective in pilot studies in AN. Given this, and the urgent need for effective treatments for AN, this project aims to study the effect of RO-DBT in reducing ED symptoms, MO, neuroticism, and EDR in patients with AN. This will be done using an extended baseline experimental case series study design over 30 weeks with 31 patients older than 16 years of age with typical or atypical AN. All outcomes will be assessed using validated psychometric instruments, and RO-DBT will be performed by trained psychotherapists.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary The Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) A 36-item self-report questionnaire designed to measure eating disorder symptoms. The range of scores is 0-132. Higher scores mean more eating disorder symptoms 30 weeks
Secondary The NEO Personality Five-Factor Inventory-3 (NEO-FFI-3): neuroticism subscale A 12-item self-report subscale questionnaire designed to measure the personality trait neuroticism. The range of scores is 12-144. Higher scores mean higher neuroticism. 30 weeks
Secondary The Five Factor Obsessive Compulsive Inventory - Short Form (FFOCI-SF) A 48-item self-report questionnaire designed to measure obsessive-compulsive personality traits. The range of scores is 48-240. Higher scores mean more obsessive-compulsive personality traits. 30 weeks
Secondary The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) A 10-item self-report questionnaire designed to measure adaptive and maladaptive strategies for emotion regulation. The adaptive subscale contains 6 questions and range between 6-42. Higher scores on this subscale mean more adaptive regulation strategies. The maladaptive subscale contains 4 questions and range between 4-28. Higher scores on this subscale mean more maladaptive regulation strategies. 30 weeks
Secondary Body mass index (BMI) A statistical index using a peron's weight and height to provide an estimate of body fat in people. A BMI of <18.5 indicates medically underweight. A BMI of 18.5 - 25 indicates normal weight. A BMI of >25 indicates overweight. 30 weeks
