Summary

This trial tests whether online group dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) is as effective as traditional face-to-face group DBT for women with bulimia nervosa. Participants will be randomly assigned to either 12 weeks of online or in-person group therapy, and researchers will compare changes in binge eating and purging behaviors. The goal is to see if video-based therapy can provide a more accessible option without compromising effectiveness.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Online group dialectical behavioral therapy (online G-DBT) delivered via video-conference
What this could lead to
If online G-DBT works as well as face-to-face, it could expand access to effective therapy for bulimia nervosa, especially where mental health resources are scarce.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial, and online therapy may not suit everyone. Results may not generalize to all patients or settings.
