Abstract
The purpose of this study was to comparing the effectiveness of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing and transcranial direct current brain stimulation therapy on perceived stress and anxiety in women with binge eating. This semi-experimental study was conducted with a pretest-posttest design with control group and follow-up 2 month. The statistical population was all women with binge eating who referred to nutrition centers in the spring of 2023 in Karaj city. In the first stage, using Judgmental sampling method, 45 women were selected and then randomly divided into 2 experimental groups (each group 15 women) and one control group (15 women) were replaced and experimental groups underwent 8 sessions 60 minutes eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, 8 sessions 60 minutes affect transcranial direct current brain stimulation therapy, but the control group received no training and remained in the waiting list. To collect data binge eating scale (BES) of Gormally and et al (1982), perceived stress scale (PSC) of Cohen et al (1983) and Beck anxiety inventory (BAI) of Beck et al (1988). Data analysis was performed using SPSS-28 software in two sections: descriptive and inferential (analysis of variance with repeated measures and Bonferroni). The results showed that both interventions in post-test and follow up had a significant effect on perceived stress and anxiety (P<0.05). In addition, the results of Bonferroni post hoc test showed that affect regulation training is more effective in perceived stress and anxiety (P<0.05).
