Outcomes of treatments for binge eating spectrum eating disorders are yet to yield desirable results, reporting up to 60-70% of patients remaining symptomatic at post-treatment. Adana City Training and Research Hospital Obesity Center is designed to provide multi-disciplinary health care services and training for groups of obese patients seeking professional help. The center includes a physician, dietitian, physiotherapist, psychologist, public relations officer, and a nurse acting as a life coach. Program is planned to carry initial assessment, health screening, necessary medical attention related to obesity, cognitive change, behavioral change, and sustainability activities. The initial assessment part consisted of one on one interviews of the patient with the physician, psychologist, dietitian, physiotherapist, and the nurse. Then, the patient is consulted with an endocrinologist, cardiologist, psychiatrist, and physical therapy and rehabilitation specialist to elucidate the significant factors that resulted in excessive weight gain and barriers in losing. Patients with severe or mismanaged medical conditions, including chronic diseases, neurological diseases, significant affective and psychotic disorders, and substance abuse or addiction disorders were directed to relevant clinics before registration. The patients who completed the screening are arranged into groups and weekly group meetings are planned. In two group meetings, basic medical knowledge and frequently asked questions are discussed. The center staff and the patients get acquinted. In the following twenty weeks, trainings by the physician, dietitian, psychologist and physiotherapist are conducted about medical information about obesity, using the technology to aid weight loss, what, when, how and why to eat, nutrition groups, ration management, water consumption, self-awareness, stress management, obesity and the association between the psychological processes, warming up and mobilization, correct stance and posture, and adequate physical activity. In addition to group meetings, in monthly individual meetings, the progress of the patients are evaluated. During the course of the program the patients with BED reported improvements in BED episodes and increased weight loss rate which give the idea to conduct a study. The primary goal of the study was to analyze the change in the severity of binge eating disorder in patients registered to the program. We expected to show a decrease in the frequency of the BED episodes in all the patients. The secondary goal includes the analysis of the context of the training program to compare the effectiveness of the topics and the methods. The study was a single-arm, prospective, quasi-experimental study with interrupted time-series design. There were no sampling methods; all patients registered to the center program with binge eating disorder and completed the acquaintance step were asked to be included. Inclusion criteria were having registered to the center for training, passed the first three steps, age between 18 to 65 years, a body mass index (BMI) equal to or over 30, and having binge eating disorder. Patients who failed to attend more than four pieces of training and complete a binge eating evaluation were excluded from the study. The training materials were developed by the trainers and edited by the author for the final version before training. The cases were analyzed for the change in the severity of binge eating disorder in the program. The data collection was performed via socio-demographic information form, binge eating disorder evaluation (BEDE) form, and progress record forms. BEDE was a structured form exclusively using DSM-5 BED diagnosis and the severity criteria1. Progress record form included weekly session content that was administered by a physician, dietitian, psychologist, and the physiotherapist and the monthly individual meetings data. BEDE and progress record forms were applied before the trainings that focuses on cognitive change and repeated every four weeks for 20 weeks. The patients were planned to receive 80 hours of training by the physician, dietitian, psychologist, and the physiotherapist.

Study of Treatment for Adolescents With Bulimia Nervosa

Bulimia

In the face of scant literature on the subject, the investigators aim to more clearly identify effective treatments for adolescent bulimia nervosa (BN) through a treatment study comparing two current treatments (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Adolescents, CBT-A and Family Based Therapy for Bulimia Nervosa, FBT-BN) for the disorder in comparison with a non-specific therapy, Supportive Psychotherapy for Adolescent Bulimia (SPT). Additionally, the investigators hope to provide clinicians with information on treatment efficacy, variables that might influence outcome, and processes that may affect treatment efficacy that will guide them in their efforts to treat adolescent BN.

Treatment of Obesity and Binge Eating: Behavioral Weight Loss Versus Stepped Care

ObesityBinge Eating

This controlled study will test the effectiveness of a stepped-care approach to a standard behavioral weight loss treatment for obese patients with Binge Eating Disorder (BED). The major question is whether the stepped-care approach, which begins with behavioral weight loss and then follows a decision tree for additional interventions based on early treatment response is superior to standard behavioral treatment.

An Open-Label Trial of Memantine in the Treatment of Binge Eating Disorder

Binge Eating Disorder

We hypothesize that memantine may be a safe and effective treatment for moderate to severe binge eating disorder associated with obesity. During this 12-week, open-label, outpatient study, male and female subjects between the ages of 18 and 65 years who have moderate to severe binge eating disorder and are obese will be treated with open-label memantine. Following this 12-week treatment phase, subjects may be eligible to continue into an extension phase which will last an additional 12 weeks. During the extension phase subjects will continue open-label memantine treatment.

Technology Assisted Treatment for Binge Eating Behavior

Binge-Eating Disorder

Binge-eating behavior is a central feature of eating disorders (e.g., binge-eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa-binge-eating/purging subtype) and is associated with higher rates of psychopathology, psychosocial impairment, medical comorbidity, and more severe obesity, all of which pose significant public health problems. Passive detection of binge eating episodes combined with a context-based reminder intervention could assist a patient in resuming healthy eating patterns. This study will test a smartwatch app that identifies binge eating behavior and provides CBT strategies to the patient after the episode.
