PG - 114267 LID - S0031-9384(23)00192-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.physbeh.2023.114267 [doi] AB - Binge-eating disorder (BED), characterized by recurrent binge eating in the absence of regular weight-compensatory behaviors, is the most common eating disorder, associated with pronounced mental and physical sequelae. An increasing body of research documents the efficacy of diverse approaches to the treatment of this disorder, summarized in meta-analyses. This research update narratively reviewed randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) on the psychological and medical treatment of BED published between January 2018 and November 2022, identified through a systematic literature search. A total of 16 new RCTs and 3 studies on previous RCTs providing efficacy- and safety-related data were included. Regarding psychotherapy, confirmatory evidence supported the use of integrative-cognitive therapy and, with lower effects, brief emotion regulation skills training for binge eating and associated psychopathology. Behavioral weight loss treatment was revealed to be efficacious for binge eating, weight loss, and psychopathology, but its combination with naltrexone-bupropion did not augment efficacy. New treatment approaches were explored, including e-mental-health and brain-directed treatments, mostly targeting emotion and self-regulation. Additionally, different therapeutic approaches were evaluated in complex stepped-care models. In light of these advances, future research is necessary to further optimize effects of evidence-based treatments for BED, through improvement of existing or development of new treatments, based on mechanistic and/or interventional research, and/or tailoring treatments to personal characteristics in a precision medicine approach.
