Scientists scan brains to see if words can tame food cravings
NCT ID NCT05101863
Summary
This study aimed to understand how a talking therapy called motivational interviewing might help people with food addiction. Researchers used brain scans (fMRI) to see how listening to one's own reasons for changing eating habits affects decision-making around food. They compared 56 people across three groups: those with obesity and food addiction, those with obesity but no food addiction, and lean individuals without food addiction.
