Summary

This study tests a 6-week group program called PrevED MR that uses mixed reality and virtual reality to teach emotion regulation skills to teens and young adults at risk for eating disorders. The program includes 12 sessions combining therapy exercises with immersive experiences. Researchers will measure changes in eating disorder symptoms, body image acceptance, and emotion regulation in 72 participants randomly assigned to the program or a waiting list.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
mixed reality based dialectical behavioral therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a new way to prevent eating disorders in at-risk youth by teaching emotion regulation skills through immersive technology.
What could go wrong
This is a small early feasibility study with only 72 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral and may not work for everyone.

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

For minors, informed consent from a parent or legal guardian will also be required, together with the minor's assent when applicable. Exclusion Criteria: * Current or past self-reported diagnosis of an eating disorder. * Current severe psychiatric symptoms or diagnosis that could interfere with participation, including suicidal, manic, or psychotic symptoms. * Severe neurodevelopmental disorder, intellectual disability, or other cognitive impairment that could interfere with understanding or completing the study procedures. * Physical, motor, or sensory impairment that could interfere with the assessment procedures or the use of the mixed/virtual reality intervention. * Current psychological or pharmacological treatment for a mental health disorder delivered on a weekly or biweekly basis. * Inability to understand Spanish. * Failure to provide informed consent.
