Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this clinical trial study is to test the heart rate variability biofeedback training in female college students with eating disorders and compare the results between intervention and control group. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How does heart rate variability biofeedback (HRVB) training impact behaviors related to eating disorders (EDs) and the perceived stress associated with these behaviors? * What difference are observed in the quality of life and stress responses between individuals trained in HRVB protocol and those in the wait list condition? * Does HRVB training enhance heart resilience and improve the ability to cope with psychosocial stressors in young women with eating disorders, compared to those in the wait list condition? Participants will be asked to do the following steps: * Baseline heart rate variability assessment and completion of the baseline questionnaire * HRVB training session and two weeks of at-home HRVB practice-10 minutes daily, (intervention group) * Post-intervention questionnaire completion and heart rate variability assessment * Optional interview (for intervention group) and HRVB training session (for control group) Researchers will compare the results of intervention group with control group to see if the participants improve in levels of emotional health, quality of life, and resilience.
