Eating Disorders Research Trials

Here's some information on various clinical trials for eating disorders that are searching for participants. Through those experimental eating disorders research trials, sometimes you can get a free examination and/or treatment and medications. In addition, sometimes they pay you as an incentive to join the study.

Concerned Counseling is not endorsing any experimental program or medications of any sort. The postings are for your information only. The decision to participate is strictly up to you and we suggest you ask all the questions you want before signing up.

Clinical Trial for Bulimia

Contact: Phyllis Roloff at the Wilkins Eating Disorders Center
- 203-531-1909

Benefits: Free screening and treatment

To Qualify: You must be a woman, age 18 or over

This NIH funded study is being conducted in Greenwich, Connecticut. The purpose is to test the effectiveness of Prozac and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in the treatment of bulimia in a primary care setting.

Researchers are attempting to determine if the primary care doctor can help bulimia sufferers or if they are better served in a specialized treatment facility.

After a pre-screening to see if you meet minimum guidelines, there will be 5 to 10 visits over the next 4 months and then 2 follow-up visits after that.
