Trial ID: NCT02743000
Purpose
The proposed study will examine the role of reward and emotion in women with and without a
history of binge eating. It is important to understand how the brain responds to reward and
emotion in binge eating in order to identify different pathways toward binge eating and
provide individualized targets for treatment. This is particularly important in light of the
fact that for many patients, the current treatments for binge eating are not effective.
