Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing versus cognitive behavioral therapy in the treatment of inpatients with obesity, binge eating disorder, and traumatic experiences: a randomized controlled trial
Overview
This randomized controlled trial compares a 4-week EMDR intervention against cognitive behavioral therapy for inpatients with obesity, binge eating disorder, and traumatic experiences. The study found no statistically significant difference between the two treatments, though both groups showed small improvements in symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and emotional regulation. The authors note that the lack of a non-treatment control group limits the ability to attribute these changes solely to the experimental interventions.
