Filter by:Body dissatisfaction is most common among girls in their teenage years and young adulthood, this is also around the time where the risk of developing binge eating disorder is the highest. Black/African American girls are more likely to engage in binge eating behaviors compared to their White American counterparts; however, they receive less help for eating issues. Further, increase rates of obesity in the Black/African American population may indicate that binge eating may be a bigger problem for this population than discussed. Therefore, the primary purpose of this randomized controlled pilot is to assess the feasibility of this pilot study to be used in a large scale fully-powered study. The secondary purpose of this study is to assess if two different nutrition and body image programs elicit positive outcomes among Black/African American teenage girls who indicate a desire to improve body image.
This study will test the feasibility and acceptability of two treatments for adolescents with higher weight seeking treatment for bulimia nervosa (binge eating and purging, or going to extremes to lose weight).
We will evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of a 8-week long digital mindfulness-based intervention for anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. This study is a prospective single-arm trial during the intervention development phase. Following this phase, after the intervention has been further developed, a subsequent study (with a different clinicaltrials.gov identification #) will utilize a randomized control trial design.
The purpose of this 6-month randomized clinical trial is to examine the feasibility of recruitment, attendance, retention, program adherence, and satisfaction of a digital application designed, Centering Appetite to improve glucose scores (HbA1c) and binge eating in African American adults with type 2 diabetes. Intervention participants will receive type 2 diabetes education and web-based lessons on appetite self-regulation. Participants will also receive a Fitbit to monitor daily physical activity. The investigators will follow up with participants at six months.
Inpatient treatment for patients with bulimia nervosa (BN) is recommended in extreme or severe cases and/or after failure of outpatient treatment and is highly effective. However, a number of patients show symptom increase and relapse after discharge. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a guided smartphone-based aftercare intervention following inpatient treatment of patients with BN to support recovery.
The goal of this observational study is to explore if different and specific profiles can be identified in adults with binge eating disorder (BED) depending on their additional eating pathology, emotion regulation and executive functions. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is there different and specific subgroups of patients with BED according to baseline profiles in emotion regulation, executive function and additional eating pathology (including restriction, chaotic eating, grazing and eating on external cues)? - Are subgroups of individuals with BED (based on identified profiles) associated with outcome at end of treatment and follow-up? - What is the trajectories in remission rates of specific symptom dimensions (eating disorder pathology, emotion regulation, executive function, and depressive symptoms) in individuals with BED and is there specific trajectory profiles in these dimensions? - Is early changes in specific symptom dimensions (eating pathology, emotion regulation, executive function, or depression) associated with outcome of BED? Participants will be asked to fill in questionnaires before treatment as usual, 10 weeks into treatment, at end of treatment and at 6- and 12-month follow-up.
Adults and adolescents will be asked to participate in a 10-week intervention to better understand their emotions and improve their relationship with food.
This is a mixed method feasibility randomized controlled trial to explore the feasibility and acceptability of therapist delivered, culturally adapted, manualized Ca-GBBB intervention for Eating Disorders (EDs) - Bulimia Nervosa (BN) and Bing Eating Disorder (BED) in Pakistan.
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 study evaluates the impact of intranasal oxytocin vs placebo in patients with obesity and binge eating disorder with obesity. We hypothesize that 8 weeks of intranasal oxytocin vs placebo will improve clinical outcomes [weight loss, reduction in bingeing frequency], and have a satisfactory safety and tolerability profile. We will also explore the predictive value of changes in homeostatic appetite, reward sensitivity, and impulse control, the identified underlying mediators, as assessed 4 weeks into the intervention, for treatment success after 8 weeks of the intervention
