What is being tested?

The study tests if Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) can improve 'set-shifting' (the ability to switch between tasks or thoughts) in teens with Anorexia Nervosa, potentially leading to better outcomes when combined with Family Based Treatment.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since CRT involves psychological exercises rather than medication, typical side effects associated with drugs aren't expected. However, participants may experience stress or emotional discomfort during therapy sessions.
