Filter by:The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of standard dosing of cyproheptadine for both cycled and continuous administration, as compared to no medication, on appetite stimulation and growth in the pediatric gastroenterology feeding team patient population. The secondary aim is to evaluate the effect, if any, of the suspected tachyphylaxis that is commonly associated with cyproheptadine use. The third aim will be to examine the type and duration of side effects of cyproheptadine in this population. The ultimate goal will be to create a standardized protocol for cyproheptadine therapy in children with feeding disorders and suboptimal growth.
The primary aim of this study is to study how Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) tailored to specific anorexia nervosa (AN) or bulimia nervosa (BN) brain activation alterations will promote recovery and to study how inhibitory tDCS (Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation) will reduce symptoms of body image distortion in a second sample of AN and BN groups.
To demonstrate the effectiveness of an easily administered intervention (guided self help) aimed at reducing binge eating in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. The investigators hypothesize that patients who have guided self help pre-operatively will have reduced episodes of bingeing pre-operatively compared to those having treatment as usual (bariatric surgery), which will be maintained in the post-operative period, and will be associated with improved weight loss and psychological outcomes after surgery.
