New Self-Guided program aims to help eating disorder patients tune into body signals
NCT ID NCT05837312
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests a new self-guided program called RISE, designed to help people with eating disorders better sense and understand their body's internal signals, like hunger and fullness. The program includes four online modules with relaxation exercises, emotion management, and body awareness training. Researchers hope this approach can improve interoceptive awareness and reduce eating disorder symptoms.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Reconnecting to Internal Sensations and Experiences (RISE) - a self-guided behavioral training program
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a convenient, self-guided tool to help people with eating disorders better understand their body's signals and reduce eating disorder symptoms.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program is self-guided, so adherence and effectiveness may vary.
