Targeted deep brain stimulation is an effective treatment for binge-eating disorder.

“And this deep brain stimulation is appearing to be an effective treatment. There's still more studies that need to be done. Actually, if you think you have binge-eating disorder, you can find the criteria for that. And you could contact Dr. Halpern he's. As I mentioned, he's moving to University of Pennsylvania. They are recruiting patients for these studies all the time. The studies are fairly invasive. They involve a FDA approved approach of literally placing a wire down into an area of the brain that, and allows the individual to stimulate a particular brain area to offset some of these activity patterns that lead to a elevated sense of reward from food and binge eating.”
