About this study

Binge Eating Disorder (BED) affects a significant percentage of de national population (1.4%) in a portio 2-1 in woman compared with men, the repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a neuromodulation technique, which allows us to induce brain electrical activity by plating magnetic fields and it has been proven that at 10Hz it has an effect of improvement in the craving of food.

Primary outcomes

  1. Food Craving Inventory (FCI)

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    The FCI is a self-report inventory designed to measure the food craving, is made up of 37 elements and is a scale-likert instrument.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Barratt Impulsivity Scale (BIS-11)

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    The Barratt Impulsiveness Scale is a questionnaire designed to assess the personality / behavioral construct of impulsiveness is composed of 30 items describing common impulsive or non-impulsive (for reversed scored items) behaviors and preferences .
