Summary
This trial tests a self-help program for people with binge eating who can't see a doctor. It uses a book for guidance and phone calls from volunteers for support. The goal is to see if this method can help improve their eating habits and quality of life.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who have contacted the National Eating Disorder Association about binge eating or disordered overeating. They must be able to speak, read, and understand English and consent to guided self-help plus study assessments. It's not for those pregnant, breastfeeding, underweight (BMI <20), currently in treatment for an eating disorder or a serious psychiatric condition like bipolar disorder or drug dependence.
What is being tested?
The trial tests a guided self-help intervention using a self-help book with telephone support from trained volunteers. The aim is to see if this approach can help people unable to access professional treatments for binge eating disorders by improving their quality of life and psychological functioning.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves cognitive behavioral therapy via guided self-help without medication, there are no direct physical side effects expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort addressing their eating behaviors.

Other Research
The most common treatments for Binge Eating Disorder (BED) include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and pharmacotherapy. CBT focuses on changing dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors related to eating, helping patients develop healthier eating patterns and coping mechanisms.
Pharmacotherapy, especially with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), alters brain chemistry to reduce binge eating episodes and improve mood. These treatments are important for BED patients as they address both psychological and physiological aspects of the disorder, potentially leading to significant improvements in quality of life.
