Non-invasive Cranial Electrical Stimulation for Mealtime Anxiety in Adults With Eating Disorders

Sponsor: Rogers Behavioral Health

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The study is to evaluate the feasibility of using a non-invasive brain stimulation device in a sample of inpatients with eating disorders (ED). The study will help researchers evaluate whether their device protocol is practical for eating disorder inpatients as a way to manage eating disorder and anxiety symptoms. A secondary aim of the study is to evaluate preliminary effectiveness of the protocol for reducing pre-meal anxiety during the treatment, and explore effects on eating disorder symptoms over the course of the inpatient admission.

Interventions

DEVICE

Alpha-Stim AID

Subjects will receive non-invasive cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) treatment in 20-minute group sessions taking place immediately prior to breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This study uses the Alpha-Stim AID® CES device which will be set to the highest amplitude that is tolerated by the participant (with a minimum of 200 microampere (µA) and a maximum of 500 µA stimulation) at 0.5 hertz for a duration of 20 minutes per session, 3 sessions per day, for 3 separate days of stimulation (180 minutes of stimulation total).
