The study is evaluating whether this targeted neurofeedback approach can enhance inhibitory control and help alleviate core symptoms associated with the disorder.

  • Pharmacological therapy remains limited, with PROZAC (fluoxetine) being the only FDA-approved medication for bulimia nervosa at a dose of 60 mg/day. It provides moderate efficacy in reducing binge-purge frequency and relapse risk but is largely symptomatic rather than disease-modifying.

  • The pooled overall lifetime prevalence rate rose to 1.4% when using only studies that applied DSM-5 criteria (18%; all in Western countries).

Bulimia Nervosa Overview

Bulimia Nervosa is a serious eating disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of binge eating, during which an individual consumes unusually large amounts of food in a short period while feeling a loss of control. These episodes are followed by compensatory behaviors aimed at preventing weight gain, such as self-induced vomiting, excessive exercise, fasting, or misuse of laxatives and diuretics.
