Digital CBT and Mindfulness for Binge Eating Disorder

This study is testing two approaches for Binge Eating Disorder (BED). One approach combines a self-guided online program called CBT-based Mindful Courage with coached self-monitoring (logging meals). The other approach uses only coached self-monitoring. Researchers want to see if these methods are practical to use and if people find them acceptable. You may be able to join if you are 18 to 70 years old, speak English, and meet the criteria for BED. This study is currently recruiting about 40 participants.

Study design
This is a pilot randomized controlled trial, meaning participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two intervention groups. About 40 people are planned to join.
What's involved
You would complete a screening, an initial visit, the assigned intervention, a mid-study visit, a post-intervention assessment around 18 weeks, and a 2-month follow-up.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will have a 2-month follow-up assessment after the intervention.
