IRCT20191104045328N5 IRCT 2021-03-04 Arak University of Medical Sciences Investigating the effect of attention bias correction on weight loss Determining the effect of attention bias correction in overweight or obese people 2021-03-04 anticipated 40 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/53799 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Participants are assigned to two intervention and control groups, respectively, based on the randomization sequence that will be generated beforehand. This sequence is unpredictable and its arrangement is completely random. Block randomization method with 8 blocks will be used to allocate samples. Thus, using block numerical random number generation software, a randomization sequence proportional to the sample size required for the two groups will be generated. Initially, all cases in which the two letters A and B can be arranged in blocks of 8 are produced. A block is then randomly selected from the blocks and the layout pattern in that block will be used to assign participants. This block will then be placed in the main container and another block will be selected again. All this will be done with software called Sealed Envelope. With this method, concealment will also be observed. The concept of concealment is to unpredictably assign individuals to groups. In fact, the researcher will not be able to predict which group the next person will be in. N/A Obesity and overweight. Intervention 1: Intervention group: patients received metformin 2000 mg/day with correction of bias . Attention bias correction includes ten 30-minute sessions that are performed three times a week. Each session includes exercises for paying attention to neutral images. For this purpose, 100 pairs of emotional and neutral images are used.Each pair of images is presented to the subject for 500 milliseconds, then the images disappear immediately and a cross appears instead of a neutral image on the screen, and the subject must press a key in the same direction as the neutral image.This action causes the subject to pay attention to neutral images and to turn his attention away from obsessive emotional images as a result of repeating the exercise. Intervention 2: Control group: Patients are given metformin 2000 mg daily. Yes - There is a plan to make this available What will be shared: When the article was out of print. When: After publishing the article To whom: University researchers Conditions: If there are any further questions Where to obtain: Dr Mostafa Nokani How to obtain: Letter writing should be done with professors and universities.
