This pilot project targets both binge drinking and binge eating behavior in college students through a mobile-based online program that provides students with evidence-based intervention material designed to reduce the incidence of both behaviors and encourage students to seek more formal in-person counseling.
Eating disorders (EDBs) are mental disorders with a great impact on the lives of individuals as well as a great cost imposed on society. The treatments currently available rely on different forms of psychotherapies with an unsatisfactory response rate as well as a considerable relapse rate . One of the reasons underlying the low success of available therapeutic modalities would be the heterogeneity of the clinical presentation of EDs, making their classification and the personalization of their treatment more difficult.The investigators hypothesize that a secondarily dimensional classification approach (respecting the categorical classification currently in use) of EDs based on the different dimensions disturbed in these disorders as well as in their comorbidities, would better represent their nosographic reality, which could provide patients with more personalized and potentially more effective care.
Pregnancy is a time of heightened risk for disordered eating behaviors, which have been linked to adverse health outcomes in gestation, delivery, and the postpartum. These adverse outcomes may at least in part be mediated by greater risk of deviation from recommended gestational weight gain trajectories, especially in those engaged in binge and loss of control eating. This study will explore the efficacy of a single-session, self-guided online acceptance-based intervention targeting food cravings as powerful and modifiable predictors of binge and LOC eating in pregnancy.
The main goal of this observational study is to measure the prevalence of binge eating disorder in liver transplant patients by evaluating the responses to the Bulimia Test. Secondary objectives of the study are to: - Determine the prevalence of binge eating disorders in liver transplant patients following alcoholic cirrhosis, evaluated by the Bulimia Test; - Study the association between the presence of eating disorder behaviours and liver damage : hepatic steatosis and fibrosis determined by Fibroscan (Transient elastography and controlled attenuation parameter) - Study the association between presence of eating disorder behaviours and alcohol use disorder, measured by Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption
The aim of the SEMASEARCH project is therefore to constitute a retrospective cohort, from the available data on patients already included in the ATUc/AP2, and prospective, on new patients who will initiate treatment according to the AP2 PUT, of 15 Specialized Obesity Centers in order to describe the effect of WEGOVY® treatment in this population. Thanks to a high phenotyping, subpopulations of interest will be identified to know the specifics of the effect of the treatment in these subgroups of interest. Secondary analyses will aim to look for clinical or biological biomarkers of success in the weight response to WEGOVY® in the entire prospective cohort, but also in specific subpopulations. In summary, the analysis of the entire SEMASEARCH cohort and sub-populations of interest will be based on a complete clinical phenotyping of patients (included in retrospective and prospective studies), completed by ad hoc questionnaires and associated with biological markers (prospective) partly collected within the framework of the WEGOVY® AP (glycaemia, hepatic assessment, lipid assessment ) and partly from a biobank to test specific hypotheses (predictive role of leptin sensitivity, insulin sensitivity level, plasma level of endocannabinoids, etc.). In addition, approaches using artificial intelligence (AI), notably machine learning, will make it possible to determine the variables or combination of variables that are most predictive of the weight response to treatment with WEGOVY® in the largest population. Indeed, individual weight loss in response to weight loss strategies is highly variable, whether purely related to lifestyle changes or pharmacological. Well-known factors associated with the ability to lose weight include adherence to lifestyle change, gender, age and specific medications. However, after controlling for these factors, differences in weight loss appear to persist in response to different interventions including pharmacological ones. Adaptation to energy deficit involves complex feedback mechanisms, and inter-individual differences are likely to arise from a range of poorly defined factors. Thus, a better understanding of the factors involved in inter-individual variability in response to WEGOVY® will help guide more personalised approaches to the management of these patients. AI techniques will be used to determine which combination of clinical or biological variables are most predictive of weight response.
Binge-eating behavior is a central feature of eating disorders (e.g., binge-eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa-binge-eating/purging subtype) and is associated with higher rates of psychopathology, psychosocial impairment, medical comorbidity, and more severe obesity, all of which pose significant public health problems. Passive detection of binge eating episodes combined with a context-based reminder intervention could assist a patient in resuming healthy eating patterns. This study will test a smartwatch app that identifies binge eating behavior and provides CBT strategies to the patient after the episode.
The primary goal of this study is to elucidate the impact of disorder provocation on the efficacy of TMS for the treatment of BED. In order to meet this objective, the investigators propose to evaluate this relationship in using a crossover study. Secondary objectives of this study include determining whether TMS with or without BED symptom provocation has effects in altering neurophysiology as detected by fMRI.
More than 30% of Black women with obesity binge eat. Binge eating may increase the risk for the development of metabolic syndrome and binge-eating-disorder (BED), which is associated with severe obesity. Though several effective treatments for binge eating exist, Black women have not fared well. Not only has their inclusion in treatment trials been limited, but when participating, they are more likely to drop out, and/or lose less weight, compared to their White counterparts. Furthermore, treatment for binge eating is often not available in primary care and community-based settings places where Black women are more likely to receive treatment for their eating and weight-related concerns. Currently, there is scant intervention research to treat binge eating in Black women. With the highest rates of obesity (57%) nationally, Black women are in need of culturally-relevant treatments for binge eating and weight gain prevention. Given the established relationship between frequent binge eating and subsequent weight gain, addressing binge eating among Black women with obesity is imperative.
This Phase 2, open-label, multi-site study will explore the safety and feasibility of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)-assisted psychotherapy and adjunctive caregiver involvement in the treatment of 18 participants with eating disorders. The study will enroll 12 participants with anorexia nervosa restricting-type (AN-R) and six participants with binge eating disorder (BED). A supportive caregiver, such as a parent or partner, for each participant will also be recruited to participate in the study and receive non-drug psychotherapy support. The study will consist of Preparatory Sessions, Experimental Sessions of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy, as well as Individual and Dyadic Integrative Sessions. A flexible dose of MDMA will be given during Experimental Sessions, ranging from 80 to 120 mg with a supplemental half-dose of 40 or 60 mg 1.5 to 2 hours later, respectively, unless contraindicated. The primary outcome measure is the change in Eating Disorder Examination (EDE) results from Baseline to Visit 16 (Study Termination).
