Trial Outcomes & Findings for Waitlist-Control Trial of Smartphone Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) (NCT NCT03673046)

NCT ID: NCT03673046

Last Updated: 2022-10-07

Results Overview

The BDD Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (BDD-YBOCS) is the gold-standard, semi-structured clinician-administered assessment of BDD severity. It contains 12 items ranging from 0 to 4, which are summed to generate a total score (range = 0 to 48). Higher scores indicate more severe BDD symptoms. The BDD-YBOCS

Smartphone-delivered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD)
12-week Smartphone-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). In-person CBT is an empirically supported treatment for BDD. The app-delivered CBT in this project includes modules such as cognitive skills (e.g., cognitive restructuring, core belief work), behavioral skills (e.g., exposure with ritual prevention), and perceptual retraining/mindfulness skills.
Waitlist Control
12-week waitlist control. (Note: participants will be crossed over to 12-week Smartphone-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) following the 12-week waitlist control).

The self-report Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (QIDS-SR) is a measure of depressive symptoms consisting of 16 scale items with responses ranging from 0 to 3, including one suicide item (item #12). Total scores have a range from 0 to 27 with higher scores indicating greater depression severity. The measure is a well-validated, sensitive measure of symptom severity in depression.

Delusionality was assessed using the Brown Assessment of Beliefs Scale (BABS). The BABS is a semi-structured, clinician-administered interview that assesses delusional thinking related to one's appearance concerns. It contains 7 items ranging from 0-4; the first six items are summed to generate a total score (range: 0-24). Higher scores indicate greater delusionality.

Functional impairment was measured using the Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS). The SDS is a self-rated, 3-item questionnaire that uses a Likert scale from 0 (not at all) to 10 (extremely) to assess impairment in occupational, social, and family domains. The 3 items are summed for a total score (range: 0-30), where higher scores indicate greater functional impairment.

Quality of life was assessed using The Quality of Life, Enjoyment, and Satisfaction Questionnaire - Short Form (Q-LES-Q-SF). The Q-LES-Q-SF is a 16-item self-report measure of subjective quality of life, containing Likert items ranging from 1 (Very Poor) to 5 (Very Good). Total scores are presented as a percentage of the maximum value (i.e., ranging from 0 to 100), with higher scores indicating greater quality of life.

At these assessments, participants were probed for adverse events that occurred since the last adverse event assessment (usually 6 weeks prior).
Participants were asked 4 questions about: (1) any major physical health problems or major physical injuries; (2) seeing a physical health or mental health provider for any reason; (3) any hospitalizations; or (4) any other major problems or concerns, all pertaining to the time since they were assessed last. Any "yes" resulted in a full event report. All serious adverse events are reported. Of non-serious events, only those affecting \>5% in either treatment group are reported.
