About

This study aims to describe the research procedures and treatment of a multidisciplinary intervention with cognitive remediation therapy for adults with obesity in a Randomized Controlled Trial. The changes will be measured before and after the intervention and three months follow-up. To evaluate them, psychometric, psychological, physiological, and physical activity tests will be taken.

Full description

A randomized controlled clinical trial will be carried out, implementing a multidisciplinary intervention with cognitive remediation therapy on obese adults from Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, México. The efficacy of this therapy has been proved in several countries except México.

A randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be executed with both an experimental group and a control group, with repeated measures taken before and after intervention and follow ups of three months. The study will be simple blind and randomization technique will be use to one assign to one of the two conditions. The experimental group will first receive the intervention and once finalized, it will be applied to the control group.

The investigator's hypothesis suggests that an intervention of cognitive remediation therapy implemented simultaneously with nutritional education and physical activity improvement in body composition such a body mass index (BMI), waist ratio, body fat, blood chemistry, skin conductance, eating behavior, craving, and body image. An improvement is also expected for the values in the applied psychophysiological tests, the cognitive performance, as well as the eating behavior and physical activities of the participants.
