Test effects of gut hormones in bulimia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies how growth-related and gut hormones affect ghrelin, a hunger-related hormone, in people with bulimia. It may help researchers understand the body changes behind bulimia and how hormones and appetite signals work.

This trial studies the underlying brain and behavior mechanisms of anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa. It may help researchers understand what drives these conditions and what could be targeted in future treatments.
This study looks at how the brain's control over eating changes after a meal, especially in women with bulimia nervosa. You will have an MRI scan and eat a standard meal as part of the research.
This trial tests whether “neurofeedback” training during eating can help reduce symptoms of bulimia nervosa. You would do meal-based sessions while receiving feedback meant to support your brain’s self-regulation during eating.
This study tests whether MDMA (a drug that enhances emotional processing) combined with therapy can help people with bulimia nervosa who haven't improved with previous eating disorder treatment. Researchers will measure whether this approach reduces binge eating and purging behaviors.
This study looks at how people with bulimia nervosa (an eating disorder marked by binge eating and purging) control their impulses, and tests a possible new way to help. It involves drinking a shake and completing tasks, which may help improve self-control and reduce binge-purge cycles.
This study looks at whether interventions that change your gut bacteria can change how you decide what to eat. It may help researchers understand the gut–brain link behind eating behavior.
