Smartphone-Supported Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy in Binge-Eating Disorder: An Exploratory Randomized Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess the feasibility of a smartphone app delivering just-in-time adaptive interventions as an adjunct to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) adapted to binge-eating disorder (BED), estimate its effects assuming superiority over CBT alone, and document safety and target engagement.

Method

A single-center, assessor-blinded, parallel feasibility study randomized adults aged 18-65 years with full-syndrome or subthreshold BED to smartphone-supported CBT (SmartCBT) or standard CBT (DRKS00024597). Both arms received 16 individual 50-min CBT sessions over 4 months. Assessments were conducted at baseline (T0), midtreatment (T1), posttreatment (T2), and 3-month follow-up (T3). Feasibility was determined regarding recruitment, attrition, dropout, adherence, assessment com
