Summary

Bulimia nervosa is defined by recurrent episodes of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors (such as induced vomiting) to prevent weight gain. It is a common and serious disease for which current treatment strategies have to be improved.

The aim of this study is to assess whether a transcranial magnetic stimulation reduces bulimic symptoms in a short term.

Conditions

  • Bulimia Nervosa

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Repetitive transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)

10 TMS sessions of 20 trains of 5s with 55s interval cross train, at a frequency of 10 Hz and 110% of motor threshold intensity of the left DLPFC.

PROCEDURE

Repetitive transcranial Magnetic Stimulation SHAM

Sham treatment will be performed with a placebo coil. The same coil as coil used for rTMS, but it does not deliver magnetic field.
