Filter by:Guided self-help (GSH) is a recommended first-step treatment for bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and atypical variants of these disorders. The current study proposes to investigate the effectiveness of providing GSH either face-to-face or via e-mail, also using a delayed treatment control condition. Symptom outcomes will be assessed, and an estimate of cost-effectiveness made. Results are proposed to be disseminated locally and internationally (through submission to conferences and peer-reviewed journals), and will hopefully inform local service provision. Please note that we are only able to offer the intervention to individuals who are currently registered with a General Practitioner that is covered by Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust - this is typically restricted to practices in Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and parts of Wiltshire.
This study proposes to compare a brief Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) group intervention to an active control group in a sample of 154 overweight or obese binge eating Veterans who have completed the VA's national behavioral weight management program (MOVE!). This study anticipates that the ACT intervention will reduce binge eating and distress while improving functioning and maintenance of weight loss.
Malaysia has increasing challenges in lifestyle related diseases, which is related to eating habits and disorders. According to the National Health & Morbidity Survey in 2011; it was reported the prevalence of obesity is 15.1% in 2011; or 2.5 million of the population,; an increase of 7/9% when compared to the 14% prevalence in 2006. Binge eating is a symptom described in various eating disorders. It is an under-diagnosed medical condition closely linked to higher body mass index (BMI) or obesity as well as personality psychopathology, psychiatric and psychological disturbances. Meta-analysis has demonstrated that extremely strict restriction in dietary calorie and fat intake is needed to achieve meaningful weight loss. Appetite and satiety are influenced by extremely complex central and gut-related hormonal systems which modulate the regulation of food intake Centrally acting hormones include Neuropeptide Y (NPY), agouti gene-related peptide, orexin which are appetite-stimulating, melanocortins and alpha-melanocortin-stimulating hormone which promote satiety. Gut-related peptides include ghrelin secreted by the stomach and the duodenum has orexigenic (appetite stimulating) effect; leptin secreted by adipose tissue has anorexic (appetite inhibiting) effect, cholecystokinin, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secreted by the proximal gastrointestinal tract which has slight anorexic effect, and peptide YY (PYY). Appetite and obesity have also been commonly related to stress and may influence binge-eating episodes. Previous studies have demonstrated that high stress hormone cortisol is associated with increased appetite and cravings, with preference for high carbohydrate content, thus leading to weight gain. In the previous study performed by our group on 738 normal subjects who were staffs of the Ministry of Health, Putrajaya, we found a prevalence of 19% binge eating behaviour, 83% of whom were either obese or overweight. GLP-1 analogue used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and is also shown to produce and maintain weight loss. Liraglutide, which provides a supra physiological amount of GLP-1 may cause appetite inhibition thus may benefit in reducing binge eating. The aim of this study is to closely observe the extensive profile of neuropeptide Y, ghrelin, leptin and GLP-1, influenced by a standard meal in binge eaters in comparison to non-binge eating controls. In addition, we aim to determine the association between binging and the respective appetite-related hormones and also cortisol. Finally we will also be assessing the efficacy of novel hormonal treatment of Liraglutide in reducing binge eating.
The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the efficacy of SPD489 compared with placebo in adults (18 55 years of age inclusive) with moderate to severe Binge Eating Disorder at Visit 8 (Weeks 11 and 12) as measured by the number of binge days (defined as days during which at least 1 binge episode occurs) per week as assessed by clinical interview based on subject diary

The current trial aims to investigate the impact of continuous feedback on dropout and outcome in group therapy. The hypothesis is that continuous feedback to patient and therapist on treatment progress and alliance will 1) increase adherence and 2) increase treatment outcome.
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of SPD489 administered as a daily morning dose (50 or 70mg) in the treatment of moderate to severe binge eating disorder (BED) in adults
The investigators are studying a new treatment for one subtype of obesity. Obesity is not a disease. It is a symptom of several different diseases. These diseases have distinct etiologies, being caused by aberrations in different mechanisms. Forms of obesity caused by such non-critical mechanisms might be corrected fairly easily and safely. The investigators are interested in overeating and obesity that is caused by the opioidergic system. The opioidergic system appears to be responsible for a subtype of obesity associated with binge eating disorder (BED). People, especially with the right genetic predisposition, can become addicted to foods that release endorphins, in the way that people become addicted to exogenous opiates and other drugs that release endorphins. The particular application in our proposed clinical trial is for intranasal (IN) naloxone. The peak levels of naloxone were similar and the bioavailability of naloxone intranasally was 100% (the same) of that available IV." IN administration of naloxone has since been broadly tested in humans, as well, where it has been shown to be safe, with pharmacokinetics similar to those of naloxone given by injection .
This study investigates the hormones that the body produces in response to food intake and in response to stress, and the way that stress influences food intake. In particular, it compares the hormone levels and food intake of people with and without binge eating disorder. In order to find out how these appetite- and stress-related hormones are linked to brain activity, the study also includes an fMRI scan, a non-invasive procedure that looks at which regions of the brain are most active during a food-related scenario.
Athletes in particular elite athletes have obsessional food and body concerns, in bond with a worship of the performance more and more invading, which lead to clinical and subclinical eating disorders. These eating disorders differ according to the disciplines and are difficult to diagnose in athletes because there are insufficiently described. Our aim at estimating the frequency of eating disorders in athletes and describing eating disorders by means of somatic, dietetic and psychological evaluations.
