Zapping the brain to curb Binge-Eating: small trial shows promise?
NCT ID NCT06894615
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This completed study tested whether a device called BTL-995-rTMS, which uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain, can reduce binge-eating in adults over age 22. Sixteen participants received six treatments over a few weeks. Researchers measured changes in binge-eating severity using a questionnaire. The goal was to see if this non-invasive approach could help control binge-eating without medication.
