Research project funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases to study biological and behavioral aspects of problematic eating in adults with functional dyspepsia and to pilot test a cognitive-behavioral treatment.
Description
This project aims to examine differences in gastric sensorimotor functions and satiety hormones among adults with functional dyspepsia (FD) and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), FD without ARFID, and healthy controls. It also tests the feasibility, preliminary efficacy, and mechanisms of an exposure-based cognitive-behavioral treatment in a pilot randomized controlled trial.
