BACKGROUND There has been a recent rise in the use of eHealth treatments for a variety of psychological disorders, including eating disorders. OBJECTIVE This meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials is the first to evaluate the efficacy of eHealth interventions specifically for the treatment of binge eating disorder (BED)– characterized by compulsive overconsumption of food, in a relatively short period of time and without compensatory behaviors like purging or fasting. METHODS A search on the electronic databases PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Medline, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) was conducted for randomized controlled trials that compared the efficacy of eHealth treatment interventions to wait-list controls. From the databases searched, three studies met the inclusion criteria, and all the interventions administered were forms of internet-based guided cognitive behavioral therapy. RESULTS The results of the analysis demonstrate that when compared to wait list controls, eHealth interventions reduce objective binge episodes (OBE; SMD is -0.77, 95% CI, -1.38 to -0.16) and eating disorder psychopathology (SMD -0.71, 95% CI -1.20 to -0.22), which include shape (SMD -0.61, 95% CI -1.01 to -0.22) and weight concerns (SMD -0.91, 95% CI -1.33 to -0.48). There was no significant difference in body mass index between eHealth interventions and controls (SMD -0.01, 95% CI, -0.40 to 0.39). CONCLUSIONS These findings provide promising results for the use of internet-based CBT for BED treatment and support the greater need for future research to explore the efficacy of these eHealth interventions.

Binge Eating Disorder Treatment

The purpose of this communication is to provide an overview as well as the strengths and weaknesses of Overeaters Anonymous (OA) as an intervention for binge eating disorder treatment. Binge eating disorder is associated with low remission rates, high relapse rates, treatment dissatisfaction, and high rates of failure to receive treatment attributed to stigma, misconceptions, lack of diagnosis, access to care, and inadequate insurance coverage. New interventions are needed that can overcome these barriers. OA is a twelve-step program and established fellowship for individuals who self-identify as having problematic relationships with food or eating. OA can be referred clinically or sought out by an individual confidentially, without a diagnosis, and free of charge. OA’s Nine Tools, Twelve Steps, and Twelve Traditions can provide structure, social support, and open, anonymous sharing that fosters a sense of connection and belonging. This may provide benefit to individuals who value structure and social support in their recovery. The tradition of anonymity may also create some challenges for conducting research and may explain the shortage of empirical support. This commentary reviews existing research findings on the effectiveness of twelve-step interventions and OA. Common misunderstandings about and within OA are also addressed and OA’s limitations are discussed. Overall, OA provides a promising option for binge eating disorder treatment that warrants clinical research on its feasibility and efficacy in a way that respects and protects its tradition of anonymity.
