Study Summary
This trial is studying how two treatments for Anorexia Nervosa (AN) can help individuals discharged from higher-level care. 80 participants will receive 24 weeks of PAT-AN or PBT therapy through teletherapy. Measures will be taken to assess treatment effectiveness, mental health, and other outcomes.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with Anorexia Nervosa who are transitioning from intensive treatment to outpatient care or have done so within the last 3 months. They must be willing to participate in weekly assessments, speak English, and have access to a smartphone or computer. Those with medical instability, overlapping therapy content, pregnancy, substance use disorders, or primary psychotic/bipolar-I disorder cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two remote therapies for Anorexia Nervosa after intensive treatment: Positive Affect Treatment (PAT-AN) and Psychoeducational and Behavioral Therapy (PBT). Participants will receive one of these treatments via teletherapy for 24 weeks starting within three months post-discharge.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves psychological therapies rather than medications, side effects may include emotional discomfort or distress during sessions. However, specific side effects will depend on individual experiences with the therapy.
