Active clinical trials for "Feeding and Eating Disorders"

Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for patients with extreme obesity. Psychological interventions are not routinely offered in Bariatric Surgery Programs. Preliminary evidence suggests that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) might be effective in reducing binge eating and improving surgical outcomes. The current study will examine whether the addition of telephone-based CBT (Tele-CBT) to the usual standard of care is more effective than the usual standard of care alone, and whether it is more effective when delivered prior to or following bariatric surgery.

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of SPD489 administered as a daily morning dose (50 or 70mg) in the treatment of moderate to severe binge eating disorder (BED) in adults

Multinational, multicenter, clinical trial. To evaluate the effect of an experimental formula on GI symptoms and associated behaviors in unsettled infants with parent-reported feeding intolerance

Eating Disorders are a debilitating and serious mental illness. This illness is associated with medical complications, psychological and social impairment. Families of people with an eating disorder also report that they lack resources and have many unmet needs. Families often have insufficient information regarding the eating disorder, available treatment options and strategies for supporting the person with the illness. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two different family interventions for people with eating disorders and their family members (parents or partners) receiving treatment either in the inpatient or day treatment Eating Disorder Program at the Toronto General Hospital, University Health Network. Family supportive counseling consists of people with eating disorders and their family members meeting with a family therapist. Multi-family group therapy involves eight to ten families who meet as a group with two therapists. The investigators are conducting a study to assess the differences between these two different family interventions. This study will help us identify who benefits the most from participating in family supportive counseling or multi-family therapy. The investigators are also evaluating which intervention is more effective at helping the person with the eating disorder overcome their illness while helping their family members learn how to support the recovery process. Both family therapy interventions are delivered by experienced family therapy clinicians who work in either the Inpatient or Day Treatment Eating Disorder Program at Toronto General Hospital.

The main objective of the proposed study is to determine whether the effectiveness of a group therapy treatment for Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is improved and attrition reduced by optimally matching women with BED who have high attachment anxiety to Group Psychodynamic Interpersonal Psychotherapy (GPIP). This study represents the next phase in a program of research stemming from a previously conducted randomized controlled trial (RCT).
