Abstract

BackgroundCognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) is a psychological treatment which aims to improve the neurocognitive processes that interfere with the daily functioning of individuals and has proven to be useful in the treatment of obesity. This therapy has been implemented in some countries as a co-adjuvant treatment for people with obesity, but it has not been tested in Mexico, where obesity is one of the main public health problems, so it is essential to implement more studies of this type to obtain effective treatments to control weight. ObjectiveTo describe the research procedure of a multidisciplinary intervention protocol for adults with obesity in a randomized controlled clinical trial. MethodParticipants will be adults from 19 to 60 years of age with obesity, who will be randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The control group will receive intervention only after the experimental group has completed the intervention program. Measurements of body composition, nutritional state, psycho-physiological and physical activities of the participants will be obtained before and after the intervention, with a three-month follow-up after the intervention has concluded. ConclusionResults of this study will provide useful evidence for the implementation and follow-up of a multidisciplinary intervention with CRT to promote a better efficacy in the treatment and control of obesity.
