Summary

This study tested whether an 18-week online program combining mindfulness meditation and cognitive behavioral therapy is acceptable and feasible for people with binge eating disorder. Seventeen adults tried the self-guided program and reported on their satisfaction and how much of the program they completed. The goal was to see if people liked it and would stick with it, before testing it in a larger, more rigorous trial.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
digital mindfulness-enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a convenient, self-guided online treatment for binge eating disorder that helps people manage their eating habits.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage trial with only 17 people and no comparison group. The results may not apply to everyone, and the program may not be effective in larger, more rigorous studies.
