This meta-analysis examined the effects of noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) for treating eating disorders (EDs), evaluating the difference between repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). We identified 15 studies on EDs, including 9 RCTs (266 participants) and 6 one-arm trials (59 participants). The pooled effect sizes indicated that NIBS plays a positive role in improving the eating symptoms of ED patients. Although its long-term effects need to be further explored, this treatment has the potential to be an important supplement to conventional ED therapy.
本荟萃分析研究了非侵入性脑刺激(NIBS)治疗饮食失调(ED)的效果,评估了重复经颅磁刺激(rTMS)和经颅直流电刺激(tDCS)之间的差异。我们确定了 15 项 ED 研究,包括 9 项 RCT(266 名参与者)和 6 项单臂试验(59 名参与者)。汇总的效应大小表明,NIBS 在改善 ED 患者的进食症状方面发挥了积极作用。尽管其长期效果需要进一步探讨,但这种治疗方法有可能成为传统 ED 治疗的重要补充。
