Meta‐analysis of the effectiveness of psychological and pharmacological treatments for binge eating disorder
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to compute and compare mean effects of various treatments for binge eating disorder. Method: A total of 38 studies with 1973 participants fulfilled the defined inclusion criteria. Effect sizes, odds ratios, and simple rates were integrated in fixed and random (mixed) effects categorical models. Results: From randomized controlled trials, psychotherapy and structured self‐help, both based on cognitive behavioral interventions, were found to have large effects on the reduction of binge eating. Regarding pharmacotherapy, mainly comprising antidepressants, randomized controlled trials revealed medium effects for the reduction of binge eating. Uncontrolled studies on weight‐loss treatments demonstrated moderate reductions of binge eating. Combination treatments did not result in higher effects compared with single‐treatment regimens. Except for weight‐loss treatment, none of the interventions resulted in a considerable weight reduction. Discussion: Psychotherapy and structured self‐help, both based on cognitive‐behavioral interventions, should be recommended as the first‐line treatments. © 2009 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
