This randomized controlled trial evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of a telehealth cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention for adolescents aged 12-17 with loss-of-control (LOC) eating. Among 50 participants, CBT-LOC showed significant improvements in binge eating, LOC eating, and eating-disorder psychopathology compared to nutrition education, with high retention and treatment satisfaction rates. Notably, treatment satisfaction was higher in the CBT-LOC group (p < .001).

Key findings

  • Retention rate was high, with an average of 15.3 out of 16 sessions completed.
  • CBT-LOC resulted in greater improvements in binge eating and LOC eating compared to nutrition education.
  • Treatment satisfaction was significantly higher in the CBT-LOC group than in the nutrition education group (p < .001).
  • Minimal weight change was observed in both intervention groups.

Why it matters

The study highlights the potential of telehealth CBT for addressing LOC eating in adolescents, a condition that can significantly impact mental health and well-being. Understanding its feasibility and acceptability can inform future treatment approaches in this population.
