NCT ID NCT05304104
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether virtual cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help reduce binge eating and bulimia symptoms in veterans and other underrepresented groups. About 144 adults with binge eating disorder or bulimia will receive therapist-led or self-help CBT via telehealth. The goal is to make effective eating disorder care more accessible, especially for those who might not otherwise get treatment.
