Overview

Brief Summary

Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is the most widespread food behavior disorder, with prevalence three times higher than anorexia. Its pathophysiology remains poorly understood and the investigators have few therapeutic options. Following a review of the literature, the investigators hypothesize that luminotherapy could be an innovative treatment of BED by its favorable effect on triggers of hyperphagic access, circadian disturbances, attention and impulsivity. The study is prospective, interventional, randomized, double-blind, monocentric (HCL). 52 patients with BED will be randomized to an active arm with intensive luminotherapy (1 daily 30 min, 10,000 lux in the morning) versus a placebo arm (<500 lux). Treatment will be delver every day during 30 days. Assessments will take place on D0, D30 and D60. The main objective is to compare the evolution of the number of hyperphagic access before and after treatment between the two groups. Secondary objectives are to compare characteristics of hyperphagic access, bodily concerns, food dependence and impulsivity, mood, anxiety, cognitive and attentional profiles (STROOP, Go / No Go, SST, BART, Prospective Time Estimation Task, Switching Task), liking / wanted for different food categories and carbohydrate metabolism (CRP, glucose, insulinemia, insulin resistance, profile of lipid abnormalities, 25-OH vitamin D3).

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Comparison of the number of hyperphagic access, over 7 consecutive days, before starting therapy with light therapy and discontinuation of treatment

Time Frame: Day-7 to Day-1 period (before Day 0) compared to Day23 to Day30 period (after Day 0)

The number of hyperphagic access will be determined using a crisis agenda filled out by patients each day

Secondary Outcomes

  • Characteristics of hyperphagic access (duration of crisis)(Day 60)
  • Characteristics of hyperphagic access (severity of the disorder)(Day 60)
  • Characteristics of hyperphagic access (severity of the disorder, duration of crisis, amount of food ingested and evolution of factors triggering)(Day 30)
  • Comparison of the number of hyperphagic access, over 7 consecutive days, before starting therapy with light therapy and 30 days after discontinuation of treatment(Day-7 to Day-1 period (before Day 0) compared to Day53 to Day60 period (after Day 0))
  • Characteristics of hyperphagic access ( evolution of factors triggering)(Day 60)
  • Evolution of attentional cognitive profiles and impulsivity(Day 60)
  • Characteristics of hyperphagic access (amount of food ingested )(Day 60)
  • Symptomatic development of BED(Day 60)
  • Evolution of other psychological parameters related to BED(Day 60)
  • Evolution of appetite for different categories of food(Day 60)
  • Biological parameters may be impacted or mediated by part of the treatment efficiency(Day 30)
  • Weight (kilogramm)(Day 60)
  • Observance rate to light therapy(day1 to day30)
