摘要
Objectives: This study aimed to determine whether inositol has therapeutic value in patients with bulimia nervosa and binge eating. Method: A double-blind crossover trial using 18 g inositol versus placebo was performed in 12 patients for 6 weeks in each arm. Results: Inositol was significantly better than placebo on the Global Clinical Impression, the Visual Analogue Scale, and the Eating Disorders Inventory. Discussion: Inositol is as therapeutic in patients with bulimia nervosa and binge earing as it is in patients with depression and panic and obsessive-compulsive disorders. This increases its parallelism with serotonin selective reuptake inhibitors. (C) 2001 by John Wiley Sc Sons, Inc.
