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.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide an effective, accessible virtual treatment for binge eating and bulimia, especially for veterans and underserved populations.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention study, not a drug trial, so results may vary. The study is relatively small (144 participants) and focuses on short-term symptom change, not long-term outcomes.
