Growing evidence suggests that pharmacotherapy may be beneficial for some patients with binge eating disorder (BED), an eating disorder characterized by repetitive episodes of uncontrollable consumption of abnormally large amounts of food without inappropriate weight loss behaviors. In this paper, we provide a brief overview of BED and review the rationales and data supporting the effectiveness of specific medications or medication classes in treating patients with BED. We conclude by summarizing these data, discussing the role of pharmacotherapy in the BED treatment armamentarium, and suggesting future areas for research.
越来越多的证据表明,药物治疗可能对一些暴食症(BED)患者有益,暴食症是一种以反复发作的无法控制的大量进食为特征的进食障碍,且不存在不适当的减重行为。本文简要概述了 BED,并回顾了支持特定药物或药物类别治疗 BED 患者有效性的原理和数据。最后,我们总结了这些数据,讨论了药物治疗在 BED 治疗武器库中的作用,并提出了未来的研究方向。
