Food aversion study for anorexia nervosa
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with anorexia nervosa experience fear or dislike of food. It may help researchers understand what drives food aversion and guide better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You currently have, or previously had, a diagnosis of anorexia nervosa (AN).
- If you are still dealing with AN: your body mass index (BMI) is between 11 and 17.5, or above 17.5 but you still have active eating symptoms.
- If you are recovered: your BMI must be between 18.5 and 30, and it must have stayed above 18.5 for at least 1 year.
- If you are a healthy control: you must not have anorexia or other major mental health diagnoses, and your BMI must be between 18.5 and 30.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding, and you must not have certain medical conditions (like brain conditions, schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder, untreated thyroid problems, kidney or liver disease).
