Targeting Food Cue Reactivity and Satiety Sensitivity to Decrease Binge Eating and Weight

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to compare a novel treatment, named Regulation of Cues (ROC), to Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), to address binge eating and weight loss in veterans. The objectives of the study are: 1) to evaluate feasibility and acceptability of ROC and CBT and 2) to evaluate the efficacy of both treatments on reduction of binge eating and weight among 120 Veterans with subclinical or clinical Binge Eating Disorder (BED) with comorbid overweight/obesity (OW/OB). By the end of Year 1, study start up tasks were completed and participant recruitment and assessment were initiated. Seventeen participants completed baseline assessments and are awaiting randomization, 6 participants are in the process of scheduling and completing baseline assessments, 3 participants screened out due to lack of binge-eating, and 5 dropped out of the study (2 due to unknown reasons, 1 due to multiple reasons such as lack of time, transportation issue, 1 due to future work schedule, and 1 due to lack of time). No individuals were randomized during Year 1 because treatment will commence on 11/7/19 (Q1 Year 2).
