Key result
A dissonance-based eating disorder program significantly reduced eating disorder symptoms and cardiac risk indices at 2-month follow-up in a trial of 47 women.

Does a dissonance-based eating disorder program reduce eating disorder symptoms and cardiac risk indices in women with subclinical and clinical eating disorder symptoms?
A dissonance-based eating disorder program significantly reduces eating disorder symptoms and ECG-derived cardiac risk indices in women with subclinical and clinical symptoms.

Supports integrating dissonance-based programs into eating disorder care to mitigate cardiac risks; extends prior trials by linking symptom improvement to objective cardiac indices.
Green et al. (2016) conducted an RCT in Eating disorder (n=47). Dissonance-based eating disorder program vs. Assessment-only control was evaluated on Eating disorder symptoms, body mass index, and biomarkers of cardiac risk (mean R wave amplitude, QT interval length, vagal tone, and sympathetic tone). A dissonance-based eating disorder program significantly reduced eating disorder symptoms and cardiac risk indices at 2-month follow-up in a trial of 47 women.
