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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) device
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a non-drug option to help reduce binge-eating episodes.
What could go wrong: This is a very small, early-stage trial with only 16 participants and no comparison group, so results may not be reliable or apply to everyone.
