Trial summary

Eating disorders are multifactorial disorders currently conceptualized in a biopsychosocial model, but pathophysiology remains relatively unknown, and robust etiological models to guide treatment are therefore lacking. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Impact of Neuropsychological Alteration of Decision-making Abilities on the Functioning of Patients With Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are multifactorial disorders currently conceptualized in a biopsychosocial model, but pathophysiology remains relatively unknown, and robust etiological models to guide treatment are therefore lacking. Different endophenotypes and neurocognitive vulnerability factors have been found in eating disorders including decision making abnormalities. The investigators hypothesize that decision making abnormalities are associated with a lower level of functioning and quality of life which could lead to social and interpersonal difficulties. The investigators also hypothesize that these anomalies are associated with a particular clinical profile (more restrictive profile, more hyperactivity, less insight on the disease and desire for care ...).

Read the detailed description

The investigators will recruit a total of 200 patients with an eating disorder in the university hospital of Montpellier.

Participation consists of a one-day visit with a multidisciplinary assessment. No action is specific to research. This is the usual management of patients with eating disorders addressed to our department.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Level of functional impairment assessed by the clinician with the FAST scale

    We aim to investigate the link between global functioning and decision making abnormalities of patients with eating disorder.

    The Functioning Assessment Short Test (FAST) is composed of 24 items assessing various dimensions of daily functionning. Each item is ranged from 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (major difficulty) like a likert scale. The FAST is subdivided in 6 subscales : Autonomy (from 0 to 12), Professional activity (from 0 to 15), Cognitive functioning (from 0 to 15), Finances (from 0 to 6), interpersonal relationships (from 0 to 18) and Hobbies (from 0 to 6). The total score is the sum of the 6 subscales from 0 to 72. A hight score reveal hight difficulties in daily functionning

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Decision making assessed by the Iowa Gambling Task

    We aim to investigate the link between decision making abnormalities and eating disorder caracteristicus

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Level of cognitive flexibility assessed by the Brixton test

    We aim to investigate the link between cognitive flexibility abnormalities and eating disorder caracteristicus

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Level of central coherence assessed by the Rey Figure Test

    We aim to investigate the link between central coherence abnormalities and eating disorder caracteristicus

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Eating Disorder, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Level of functional impairment assessed by the clinician with the FAST scale (time frame: 1 day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Mar 2020.
