Targeting Transdiagnostic Self-regulatory Factors and Eating Disorder Pathology Among Adults With BInge-spectrum Eating disOrders: A mHEALTH Interoceptive Exposure Intervention (the Bio-HEALTH Study)
NCT06631729 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The present study will be fully remote (virtual) and include observational design features (assessments) plus a clinical trial. All assessments will be completed using HIPAA-approved platforms (e.g., Qualtrics, MindLogger EMA platform). After screening via Qualtrics to determine eligibility (described below), participants will complete a cross-sectional survey via Qualtrics, followed by a baseline EMA period. During the baseline EMA period, participants will receive brief (3-5 minutes) surveys on their mobile devices 6 times per day for 7-days via the MindLogger app. During the baseline EMA period, participants will also be asked to wear non-invasive chest-worn Holter monitors (Polar H10 Holter monitors) that will capture their heartrate variability data. They will then complete the 4-week intervention (HRV bio or ED-JITAI treatment arms; see below), followed by a post-intervention 7-day EMA assessment period while they also wear the Holter monitors. Recruitment is expected to last for 1.5 years. In HRV-bio, participants will also complete a HRV biofeedback task via the Elite HRV app. In this intervention, participants will learn how to use their HRV data that they will see in real-time via the Elite HRV app to improve their HRV by engaging in an app-guided diaphragmatic breathing exercise. They will complete this exercise twice daily (morning, night). In ED-JITAI, participants will be prompted to complete focused, guided body scan tasks that will be sent to them via the MindLogger app. These guided tasks will be sent to them in the form of 1 of 3 brief (3-5 minute) videos via the MindLogger app. The body scans will be designed to promote participants' connection with, vs. distancing/distraction from, feared ED sensations (e.g., hunger, satiety, bloating). Participants will receive prompts to complete the body scans at times when they report via EMA that they are experiencing worse interoception than usual. "Worse interoception than usual" will be defined as part

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06631729
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06631729 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 144 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Minnesota, which has 919 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Eating Disorders appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which HRV-bio is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06631729 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Minnesota. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
