Testing Personalized Treatment Plans for Eating Disorders

This trial is testing a new approach to treating eating disorders called personalized treatment, which is tailored specifically to each person's individual needs and life circumstances. Researchers will first spend two weeks learning about your unique eating disorder patterns and challenges, then offer you either this personalized treatment or the current gold-standard therapy (a well-established approach called Enhanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). The goal is to see whether customized treatment helps people recover better than one-size-fits-all approaches.

Current eating disorder treatments don't work well enough — only about half of adults respond to standard approaches, and there are no proven treatments at all for some types of eating disorders. This trial exists to create and test treatment that considers each person's unique circumstances and what specifically triggers or maintains their eating disorder, rather than using the same approach for everyone.
