Introduction: Binge- eating disorder (BED) was included as its own diagnostic entity in the Fifth Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM- 5). An increasing number of treatment studies have been published, but an up- todate comprehensive meta- analysis on diverse treatment approaches for BED is lacking. In an updated and extension of a previous meta- analysis, the goals of this study are to assess the short- term and long- term effectiveness of psychological and medical treatments for BED. Methods and analysis: We will search bibliographic databases and study registries, including manual searches for studies published before January 2016. The search strategy will include terms relating to binge eating and diverse forms of psychological and medical interventions. Language will be restricted to English. The studies included will be treatment studies, that is, randomised- controlled trials, and non- randomised and non- controlled studies, for individuals with BED (DSM-IV or DSM-5), and studies that provided a pre-treatment and at least one post- treatment or follow- up assessment of binge eating. The primary outcomes will be the number of binge- eating episodes, abstinence from binge eating and diagnosis of BED at post- treatment and/ or follow- up(s), and changes from pre- treatment to post- treatment and/ or follow- up(s). Likewise, as secondary outcomes, eating disorder and general psychopathology, quality of life, and body weight will be analysed and adverse events and treatment drop- out will be examined. Study search, selection and data extraction, including risk of bias assessment, will be independently performed by 2 reviewers and consensus will be sought. Moderator analyses will be conducted, and equity aspects will be considered. Sensitivity analyses will be conducted to determine the robustness of the results. Ethics and dissemination: Ethical approval is not required for this meta- analysis. Published in a peerreviewed journal and disseminated electronically and in print, this meta- analysis will form the basis of the renewal of the German evidence- based S3 Guidelines of Diagnosis and Treatment of Eating Disorders, specifically BED.
