Study Summary
This trial will assess the effectiveness of two psychological treatments for adolescent anorexia nervosa delivered in the home setting.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adolescents with anorexia or atypical anorexia who are medically stable enough to be treated outside of a hospital, living at home with caregivers willing to participate in treatment, and not currently using other psychological treatments for eating disorders. They must also have a steady dose if they're on psychotropic medication.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two types of therapy delivered at home: Family-based treatment (FBT) and Integrative family therapy. It aims to see which is more effective when given in the patient's own environment by assessing weight changes, eating behaviors, and how well families can apply what they learn.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves psychological treatments rather than medications, traditional side effects like you might see with drugs aren't expected. However, participants may experience emotional distress or discomfort as part of the therapeutic process.
