Filter by:The "Brain Over Binge Recovery Guide" (Hansen, 2016), is a self-help approach that incorporates fundamental aspects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Enhancement Therapy and addictions treatment. This approach has been streamlined into a guided self-help protocol (Binge Focused Therapy, or BFT) that can be delivered by undergraduate students with minimal mental health experience in 3 group sessions spread over 8 weeks (i.e., Week 1, Week 2, Week 8). The aim of this proof-of-concept study is to provide preliminary data to examine whether this approach is feasible and has clinical potential for patients with binge eating disorder.
Recently, Integrative Cognitive-Affective Therapy (ICAT), a novel intervention for bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder (BED) that targets emotion regulation deficits, has shown promise in reducing eating disorder symptoms as well as improving emotion regulation capacities in adults. However, this treatment has not been investigated in an adolescent sample. Given the contributing role of emotion regulation in adolescent eating disorder symptoms and limited treatment options for adolescents with BN and BED, the aim of this study is to adapt the existing adult ICAT treatment for adolescents with clinically significant binge eating (ICAT-A) and to evaluate the extent to which ICAT-A is helpful in reducing binge eating and associated eating disorder symptoms in a younger sample.
The aims of the current study are: 1) to pilot a manualized intervention (INSPIRE - Inspiring Nutritious Selections and Positive Intentions Regarding Eating and Exercise) to determine feasibility and acceptability, and 2) to evaluate the preliminary effectiveness of INSPIRE on physical and psychological variables.
The goal of the study is to evaluate two 6-month adjunct interventions (peer mentorship and social support mentorship) for individuals with eating disorders. Individuals will be randomized to peer-mentorship, social support mentorship, or a wait-list and eating disorder symptoms will be evaluated at baseline and post-treatment.
This protocol is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial which aims to investigate the effect of denosumab on BMD in women with anorexia nervosa. The investigators hypothesize that 12 months of denosumab administration will result in an increase in bone mineral density, decrease in markers of bone resorption and improvement in bone microarchitecture in osteopenic women with anorexia nervosa compared with placebo. An optional extension study will offer subjects 12-month administration of open-label alendronate (an oral bisphosphonate) after the initial 12 month administration of denosumab or placebo. We hypothesize that 12 months of denosumab followed by 12 months of open-label alendronate will result in a greater increase in BMD compared to 12 months of placebo followed by 12 months of open-label alendronate. Within the group of women who receive sequential therapy with 12 months of denosumab followed by 12 months of alendronate, we hypothesize that BMD will be maintained between 12 and 24 months while on alendronate.
This study focused on investigating the effects of maternal disordered eating on maternal and child outcomes as part of a secondary data analysis of the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC).
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of a regular yoga practice on body image in college women.
The purpose of this project is to conduct a multicentre, randomized controlled trial (RCT) with 250 patients diagnosed with an eating disorder (ED). In this experiment, the patients from the experimental group will test an mHealth application (TCApp developed by HealthApp) and then, a clinical efficacy analysis and economic evaluations will be performed. To do this, we have set the following three specific objectives: - To evaluate the clinical efficacy of an intensive intervention that includes both standard face-to-face Cognitive Behavioural Treatment (CBT) (treatment as usual, TAU) plus an online intervention using TCApp, versus TAU alone. - To carry out an economic evaluation (cost-utility and cost-effectiveness analysis) of the new mHealth intervention and identify factors that promote or hinder the implementation of TCApp in mental health settings in Spain. - To analyse the adoption processes of this type of applications by patients and health professionals and identify the determinants of mHealth adoption. General hypothesis: The implementation of the intensive intervention program (TAU + TCApp) would result in a more significant improvement of the ED symptoms compared to the TAU control group. Specific hypotheses: - The application of the intensive mHealth intervention would lead to significantly greater change scores (difference between T0 and T1) in the primary outcome variable of ED psychopathology, compared to the control group. - The mHealth intervention would lead to significantly greater change scores (difference between T0 and T1) in patients' secondary outcome variables: a) depression symptoms, b) anxiety symptoms, c) motivation to change, d) suicidal risk, and e) quality of life, compared to the control group. - Similarly, intensive intervention would result in greater change scores (difference between T0 and T1) in caregivers' variables: a) quality of life and b) caregiver burden.
This research project aims to explore the effectiveness of combined go/no-go training and implementation intentions in targeting binge eating frequency among people with binge eating disorder and bulimia nervosa. The full intervention is 4 weeks long and consists of completing the training and food diaries every day and meeting with the researcher twice for EEG recording. Moreover, it involves completing questionnaires at baseline, at intervention completion, and one month after the intervention. Moreover, healthy control participants will be recruitment to complete baseline questionnaires and take part in one EEG recording session in order to assess baseline differences in brain activation in response to computer tasks.
The investigators are conducting a randomized controlled trial using an adaptive design for adolescents (ages 12-18) with anorexia nervosa to compare standard Family Based Treatment (FBT) to adaptive FBT with an Intensive Parental Coaching (IPC) component. If participants do not reach expected milestones by session 4 of treatment, participants may be randomized to receive additional IPC or continue treatment as usual with regular FBT.
