Stepped Care Treatment for Binge-Eating
Binge Eating DisorderTemple University is looking for women to participate in a study to evaluate the treatment options available to women living with binge eating disorder. Binge-Eating Disorder is a significant public health problem for women. Despite this, there is limited research on how best to treat this disorder at varying levels of severity. The purpose of this NIMH-funded study is to enroll individuals in a brief form of cognitive-behavior therapy. If more intense treatment is needed, individuals will be randomly assigned to more intensive group and individual treatments (Cognitive-Behavior Therapy or Dialectical Behavior Therapy). Both of these treatments are talking therapies that have been adapted for women living with binge-eating disorder and are free of charge.

Using Continuous Glucose Monitoring to Detect and Intervene on Maintenance Factors for Trans-diagnostic...
Bulimia NervosaBinge EatingThe current study will be one of the first to develop and test a passive data collection technique to detect both meal consumption and disordered eating symptoms in patients with clinically significant binge eating and the first just-in-time adaptive interventions (JITAIs) systems using passive sensing technology for eating pathology to be empirically evaluated. A small iterative open clinical trial using an ABAB design (A= SenseSupport Off, B=SenseSupport On) will be conducted to test the feasibility, acceptability, and target engagement of SenseSupport when paired with a 12 week in-person CBT treatment program. The hypothesis that larger decreases in dietary restriction will be observed during SenseSupport On phases compared to SenseSupport Off phases will be tested in this clinical trial.
