NCT ID NCT02940613
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether showing people with bulimia or binge eating disorder visual graphs of their symptom changes during the first four weeks of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps them improve faster. About 80 participants were split into groups that either saw these graphs or did not. The study was terminated early, so the full results are not available.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple way to help people with eating disorders get better faster in therapy.
What could go wrong
This was a small, early-stage study that was terminated, so results are limited. The approach may not work for everyone or may not be better than standard therapy.
