Active clinical trials for "Anorexia Nervosa"

A pilot study exploring whether individuals receiving usual treatment (CBT) from the specialist NHS Tayside Eating Disorders Service and accessing the online self-help "Smart Eating" programme have improved treatment outcomes compared to those receiving usual treatment only. The study will also explore acceptability of the "Smart Eating" self-help programme via a feedback questionnaire.

The aim of this study is to pilot an innovative motivational text-message intervention for individuals with anorexia nervosa and subthreshold anorexia nervosa. Patients will receive personalized motivational text-messages as an adjunct to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT will be provided to patients at no cost for the duration of the study. The investigators hypothesize that the text-messages will help increase motivation to change and kilocalorie intake and decrease eating disordered behavior.

This study aims to investigate the feasibility of combining Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) with Family Based Treatment (FBT) for future use in a randomized clinical trial to reduce the risk of adolescents developing persistent Anorexia Nervosa. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group will receive FBT and CRT, and the other group will receive FBT and art therapy.

Uniting Couples in the treatment of Anorexia Nervosa (UCAN2) is a collaborative treatment research study between the University of North Carolina (UNC) Eating Disorders Program and the UNC Department of Psychology and is funded by the National Institute of Mental Health. The study examines two comprehensive treatments as couples face the challenges of anorexia nervosa (AN). The program helps patients with AN and their partners address AN symptoms and unique stresses that AN places on the romantic relationship.

The purpose of the study is to test a new procedure of body image therapy in anorexia nervosa, using the anamorphic micro software.

This research study is being held at UCSD to determine whether the medication Quetiapine helps people suffering from anorexia nervosa by reducing core eating disorders symptoms.

Men and women between the ages of 18-65 and are currently suffering from anorexia nervosa are needed.

The scope of the STRONG_2 project is to investigate the effect of supervised exercise as add-on to standard of care (SOC), for patients with eating disorders (EDs). The effect of supervised strength training will be measured on health parameters such as muscle strength.

Anorexia Nervosa inpatient treatment has often a short-term success as weight is restored to a healthy level, but high percentage of patients relapse during the first year following the discharge. The development of strategies to overcome this problem represents a priority for clinicians. Aim of this trial is to evaluate the effects of a relapse prevention program based on cognitive dissonance theory developed for hospitalized patients.

This study will compare the effectiveness of two types of psychotherapy, a relapse prevention program and cognitive behavioral therapy, in reducing relapse and fear of eating situations in people with anorexia nervosa.
