Filter by:This study aims to perform an open-series pilot trial to examine the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral therapy delivered in a guided self-help format (CBTgsh) with added content related to physical activity (PA), for the treatment of binge-eating disorder (BED), operationalized as BED full diagnostic criteria or BED with the full criteria except for the binge episode size criterion.
This study will evaluate the degree to which engaging targets produces a desired change in medical regimen adherence (across 4-week interventions) and health behavior among smokers (n=50) and overweight/obese persons with binge eating disorder (n=50) (smoking in the former sample and binge eating in the latter sample). The investigators will employ a novel mobile behavioral assessment/intervention platform to engage targets in these samples, given that (1) it offers self-regulation assessment and behavior change tools via an integrated platform to a wide array of populations, and (2) content within the platform can be quickly modified as needed to better impact targets. This is the fourth and final phase of a study that aims to identify putative mechanisms of behavior change to develop an overarching "ontology" of self-regulatory processes. This trial builds on NCT03352713.
The effectiveness of a systematic affect regulation training (ART; Berking, 2010) is evaluated with regard to reducing symptoms of binge eating disoder in a randomized controlled trial.
This study evaluates if imaginal exposure therapy can decrease symptoms of eating disorders and anxiety, and test an online format of IE to maximize its ability to reach as many individuals with eating disorders as possible. All participants will complete four imaginal exposure sessions and will complete questionnaires prior to receiving this treatment, as well as complete follow up questionnaires at 1-month, 6-month, and 12-month.
This study aims to develop and evaluate the efficacy of a behavioral weight loss treatment approach for individuals with binge eating disorder to both reduce their binge eating behaviors and lose weight.
This study will evaluate the extent to which we can engage and manipulate putative targets within the self-regulation domain within and outside of laboratory settings in samples of smokers and overweight/obese individuals with binge eating disorder. This is the fourth phase of a study that aims to identify putative mechanisms of behavior change to develop an overarching "ontology" of self-regulatory processes.
Mood and circadian rhythm disruptions are associated with binge eating (BE). BE is a discrete, episodic behavior characterized by 1) eating an objectively large amount of food and 2) experiencing a subjective sense of loss of control. BE episodes are often preceded by negative mood states, and a subtype of individuals with BE has high levels of negative moods. This group has more comorbid psychopathology and a poorer response to treatment. Thus, understanding the role of negative mood is a critical area for research on BE. Individuals with BE demonstrate disruptions in several circadian rhythms, including diurnal meal timing, hormone patterns (e.g., daily cortisol rhythms), and mood variations. The most potent synchronizer of circadian rhythms is light. Thus, exposure to light may explain other phenomena that fluctuate similarly, such as mood and the occurrence of BE. Mood is subject to the influence of light, and BE is also influenced by exposure to bright light. It is unknown whether regulating circadian rhythms via regular exposure to light improves BE through its effects on mood or via changes in other biological or behavioral rhythms. This knowledge can inform the development of treatments targeting biobehavioral mechanisms that maintain BE and indicate for whom this may be most effective. This project aims to test the roles of negative mood and circadian rhythms in the relationship between light exposure and BE and identify subtypes of individuals in whom this effect is strong. The investigators hypothesize that individuals exposed to less natural bright light will experience more frequent BE, more negative mood, and a blunted morning cortisol response. The investigators further hypothesize that manipulating exposure to artificial bright light will reduce the frequency of BE and negative mood and increase the morning cortisol response. Finally, the investigators hypothesize that the effects of this artificial bright light exposure on BE frequency will be mediated by changes in negative mood, which itself will be accounted for by changes in circadian rhythms as indicated by the morning cortisol response. Additionally, the investigators have two moderation hypotheses: that the effects of artificial bright light exposure on BE will be greater for those who fit the high negative mood type than those who do not and that the effects will be greater for individuals with a blunted morning cortisol response at baseline than for those without.
The objectives of this proposed study are: 1) to evaluate feasibility and acceptability of a novel intervention, Regulation of Cues (ROC), and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and 2) to evaluate the efficacy of both treatments on reduction of binge eating and weight loss among 120 Veterans with subclinical or clinical Binge Eating Disorder (BED) with comorbid overweight/obesity (OW/OB).
The study seeks to evaluate the acceptability, feasibility, target engagement, and validity of an innovative smartphone application with ecological momentary interventions to augment cognitive behavioral therapy for bulimia nervosa.
The purpose of this research is to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) assessing the impact of CBT on neural responses to binge eating stimuli.
