Scientists scan brains to unlock why bulimia persists
NCT ID NCT04917068
Summary
This study aims to understand how the brain's reward system works in people with bulimia nervosa, specifically focusing on the anticipation or planning phase before a binge eating episode. Researchers will use brain scans (fMRI) and daily smartphone surveys to measure brain activity and emotions in 100 participants with bulimia and healthy volunteers. The goal is to gather knowledge that could lead to better future treatments by targeting these early warning signs.
