Clinical Trial Summary

The primary aim of this study is to determine how inhibitory neurobiological and neurocognitive processes relate to binge eating treatment outcome.


Clinical Trial Description

Binge eating disorder (BED) is characterized by reoccurring binge eating episodes that consist of eating a subjectively or objectively large amount of food over a period of time accompanied by a sense of loss control over eating, in the absence of recurrent compensatory behaviors (e.g., purging). Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the current gold-standard treatment for reducing binge eating episodes in BED patients. The first-line of recommended CBT treatment is a self-guided intervention called CBT-Guided Self-Help (CBT-GSH). However, for a substantial minority of patients, CBT-GSH fails to reduce binge episodes after treatment. Preliminary findings of the literature suggests that individuals with BED possess deficits in inhibitory control as it relates to food-stimuli. We are studying how inhibitory neurobiological and neurocognitive processes relate to binge eating treatment outcome.

This study involves a brief phone screen and research assessment (approximately 5 hours) to determine eligibility. Eligible participants will receive CBT-GSH, which will include a one-hour clinical intake followed by 6 therapy sessions (approximately 30 minutes each). Participants will also complete research assessments at mid-treatment, post-treatment, and 3 month follow-up intervals. Research assessments include a battery of questionnaires, computerized tasks, interviews, and a task using functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIR) imaging. ;
