Use of Circadian Reset Technology to Alter REM Sleep and Appetitive Control in Patients With Binge Eating Disorder
Sponsor: Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
Summary
This project includes testing circadian reset technology (CRT) on frequency of binge eating in a sample of 40 individuals with binge eating disorder. Participants will be randomized to one of two groups. Both groups use a virtual reality (VR) headset for 10 minutes (5 upon waking, 5 before sleep) daily for 1 month. One group will use the CRT software on the headset and the other group will use a software intended to be a control. Measures will be taken at baseline and 1-month. The researchers anticipate that use of CRT will improve sleep quality leading to increased appetitive control.

Interventions
Circadian Reset Technology
Circadian reset technology is a software used on a VR headset in this intervention. The software is a passive viewing experience like a guided meditation that presents visual images.
VR Headset
The software used on a VR headset in this intervention is a passive viewing experience like a guided meditation that presents neutral images that mimics the sequence used in the CRT software.
