Active clinical trials for "Binge-Eating Disorder"

This is a study examining the use of different degrees of therapist involvement in the treatment of Binge Eating Disorder. The study will examine both which approaches work best for decreasing symptoms and which are most cost-effective.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of 2 doses of centanafadine sustained-release (SR) (200 milligrams [mg] and 400 mg total daily dose [TDD]) compared with placebo in adults with moderate to severe binge eating disorder (BED).

This study proposes to compare a brief Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) group intervention to an active control group in a sample of 154 overweight or obese binge eating Veterans who have completed the VA's national behavioral weight management program (MOVE!). This study anticipates that the ACT intervention will reduce binge eating and distress while improving functioning and maintenance of weight loss.

The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the efficacy of SPD489 compared with placebo in adults (18 55 years of age inclusive) with moderate to severe Binge Eating Disorder at Visit 8 (Weeks 11 and 12) as measured by the number of binge days (defined as days during which at least 1 binge episode occurs) per week as assessed by clinical interview based on subject diary

"Eating disorders" includes anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating and other specified feeding or eating disorder (OSFED). Common to all is the intensively occupation to control food intake, body image and body weight. Most people with this kind of disorder don't reach for professional help, or there may be more than 4 years before they do. Cognitive behavior therapy is the foremost method of treatment of eating disorders, but up to 30-50% of the patients don't respond to this. The investigators find it important to identify science based alternatives of therapy, as this may reduce the health concern, and broaden the choice of therapy methods. A former study by Sundgot-Borgen et al in 2002, found guided physical activity to reduce symptoms of bulimia nervosa just as good as the traditional cognitive therapy. The primary objective of the project is to see whether the combination of physical exercise and dietary therapy is more effective in treating eating disorders, than cognitive therapy. Secondly, the investigators want to see whether there are any differences with regard to the individual satisfaction of treatment method, and to associated costs. Interviews with a sufficient number of participants from the PED-t arm to meet data saturation criteria, and all theraphists in the new treatment offer, will give uniqe insight to experiences with the treatment method and the delivery of treatment.

Guided self-help (GSH) is a recommended first-step treatment for bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and atypical variants of these disorders. The current study proposes to investigate the effectiveness of providing GSH either face-to-face or via e-mail, also using a delayed treatment control condition. Symptom outcomes will be assessed, and an estimate of cost-effectiveness made. Results are proposed to be disseminated locally and internationally (through submission to conferences and peer-reviewed journals), and will hopefully inform local service provision. Please note that we are only able to offer the intervention to individuals who are currently registered with a General Practitioner that is covered by Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust - this is typically restricted to practices in Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and parts of Wiltshire.

This study evaluates de efficacy of 5Hz repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) applied on the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in patients with binge eating disorder.

This study will test the effectiveness and relative efficacy of naltrexone/bupropion medication as a maintenance therapy for the treatment of binge eating disorder (BED) in patients with obesity. This is a controlled test of whether, amongst responders to acute treatments, naltrexone/bupropion medication results in superior maintenance and longer-term outcomes compared with placebo.

The purpose of this study is to test a novel treatment for binge eating that will be compared to a waitlist control group. The investigators are seeking to target factors that might influence binge eating by increasing reward in non-food life domains. The treatment is weekly for 10 weeks and will take place at Drexel University in Philadelphia.
