An observational study in Bulimia Nervosa, sponsored by University of California, San Diego. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 35 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-01-17.
Sponsored by University of California, San Diego · Observational
The purpose of this study is to investigate areas of the brain responsible for self-regulation in adult women who have never had an eating disorder with women who have bulimia nervosa. More specifically, investigators are interested in changes in brain activation (e.g., changes in blood flow and oxygen use) when inhibiting responses and regulating emotions. Data collection will rely on a technology called functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
319 studies on the registry are indexed under Bulimia; 53 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 89 is above the median of 76 across 58 observational studies indexed under Bulimia.

Women (ages 18-35 years) with bulimia nervosa, and age- and BMI-matched healthy controls.
General Inclusion Criteria:
Between the ages of 18 and 35 years
*For Women with Bulimia Nervosa:
General Exclusion Criteria:
Self-Regulatory Control
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging will be used to assess brain activation associated with motor inhibitory control and affect regulation in women with bulimia nervosa (BN)
Time frame: Day 2 (fMRI Scan)
Goal-Directed Action Control
An computerized instrumental learning task will be used to assess performance of women with and without bulimia nervosa.
Time frame: Day 1
Eating Disorder Relevance
The Eating Disorder Examination (EDE) will be conducted to assess relative associations of motor, affective, and goal-directed action control with bulimia nervosa severity.
Time frame: Day 0
