Jun 6 2024King's College London Research ers from the Institute of Psychiatry , Psychology & Neuroscience at King's College London have investigated the feasibility of a new home-administered treatment for binge eating disorder . The new treatment combines a gentle brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation with a training programme that targets unhelpful patterns of attention around food.
New approaches to meet an unmet need Psychological therapies are recommended for treatment of BED and about 50 per cent of those who receive treatment achieve a full and lasting recovery. TANDEM trial New tDCS devices have been developed to enable self-administration at home. The TANDEM trial investigated whether the simultaneous delivery of at-home self-administered tDCS with ABMT is feasible, acceptable and potentially effective for the treatment of BED.
Participants in the real tDCS with ABMT group also reported that they lost approximately 3.5 to 4 kg between baseline and six-week follow-up . In comparison, over the same period time those who received ABMT with sham tDCS reported that they lost about 1.5 to 2 kg on average and those who received ABMT only reported negligible change in their weight . There was no change in eating behaviour or weight loss in the no treatment control group.
