tDCS and Cognitive Training for Restrictive Eating Disorders
This study looks at adults with restrictive eating disorders who are currently receiving outpatient treatment for their eating disorder to examine whether a new brain stimulation technique called non-invasive transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can enhance brain training. Participation involves interviews, assessments, 10 sessions of brain stimulation (active or sham), …
Neuroscience-informed Treatment to Remotely Target Reward Mechanisms in Post-acute Anorexia Nervosa
The investigators will recruit individuals with broadly-defined AN (n = 80) who are currently in or have recently participated in higher-level eating disorder treatment (e.g., residential, partial hospitalization/day treatment, intensive outpatient treatment). Interested participants will sign consent, complete eligibility assessments, and will be randomized to receive Positive Affect Treatment for …
Improving the Treatment of Anorexia Nervosa in Children Through Virtual Reality Body Exposure
The age of onset of anorexia nervosa has been progressively decreasing in recent years. Also, the prevalence rates of childhood anorexia in many countries have grown significantly. This increase was already observed before the COVID-19 pandemic, but the confinements and the stress derived from them have caused this increase to …
Impact of Body Schema Distortion on Remission and Weight Regain in Anorexia Nervosa
Anorexia nervosa is a predominantly female eating disorder that most often appears in adolescence. The latter leads to strict and voluntary food deprivation for several months or even years. The lifetime prevalence of anorexia is 1.4% in women and 0.2% in men. Ultimately, only half of people treated for anorexia …
Amino Acids in Patients With Anorexia Nervosa: Double-blind Randomized Study Versus Placebo
Amino acids (AAs) are crucial for protein synthesis, in influencing nutritional status, as sources of vital elements (e.g., nucleotides, neurotransmitters) and as signal molecules for the modulation of gene expression and epigenetic mechanisms. Data on the role of amino acids in underweight patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) are unknown. This …
Confirming the Effectiveness of Online Guided Self-Help Family-Based Treatment for Adolescent Anorexia Nervosa
With an incidence rate of about 1%, Anorexia Nervosa (AN) is a serious mental disorder associated with high mortality, morbidity, and cost. AN in youth is more responsive to early treatment but becomes highly resistant once it has taken an enduring course. The first-line treatment for adolescents with AN is …
Efficacy of Non-invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Treatment of Low Weight Eating Disorders
This project includes a 4-week randomized trial comparing pre-meal vagal nerve stimulation (taVNS) to pre-meal sham stimulation. The aims will assess if taVNS results in greater satisfaction, greater calorie consumption, less self-reported fullness, decrease in eating disorder symptoms, and less anxiety than sham stimulation. Gastric parameters (rhythm, motility, and pH …
Interoceptive Exposure for Adolescents With Low Weight Eating Disorders
This project includes a parallel group randomized controlled trial comparing two psychological treatments: 1) Exposure-based Family Therapy (IE) vs. 2) Family Based Therapy (FBT) for low weight eating disorders with 12 month follow-up. Primary outcomes are expected body weight and clinical impairment. Three mechanisms of change (Autonomous Eating, Non-Judgmental Body …
Efficacy of a Phone-based Relapse Prevention for Anorexia Nervosa After a First Hospitalization
Anorexia Nervosa (AN) is a highly challenging disease which consequences are serious. Relapse rate is estimated between 38 and 41% during the year following hospitalization. The efficacy of patients' phone contact procedure on relapse has been assessed and has shown interest in numerous disorders. However, no study has ever used …
