Summary

This completed trial tested whether a device that delivers magnetic pulses to the brain (BTL-995-rTMS) could reduce binge-eating in 23 adults over age 22. Participants received six treatment sessions and filled out questionnaires about their eating habits and comfort. The study aimed to see if the treatment lowers binge-eating scores on a standard scale.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: BTL-995-rTMS device (magnetic brain stimulation)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a non-drug, non-invasive way to reduce binge-eating episodes for people with binge-eating disorder.
What could go wrong: This was a very small trial (23 people) with no control group, so results may not be reliable or apply to everyone. The device is still experimental.
