BDD Research Studies

Currently active body dysmorphic disorder studies by Jamie Feusner, M.D., Research consultant at the Los Angeles Body Dysmorphic Disorder & Body Image Clinic.

Dynamics of visual processing abnormalities in BDD

Principal Investigator: Jamie Feusner, M.D.

This study aims to illuminate dynamic pathophysiological mechanisms underlying perceptual distortions in BDD using two novel visual modulation techniques.

Participation in the study involves two visits:

• A research diagnostic and symptom assessment with Dr. Feusner.
• An MRI brain scan, during which participants will view photographs of their face.

Participants will receive a free evaluation, brain scan, an image of their brain to keep, parking/transportation reimbursement, and will be compensated for their time. If you believe you have BDD and would like to participate in this study please contact us:
