Hospital stay versus day program for early anorexia
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to treat early-onset anorexia nervosa: staying in the hospital full-time versus going home and attending a daytime program. It aims to see which approach is safer and works as well (or better) for children who need intensive support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has been diagnosed with anorexia nervosa based on DSM-5 criteria
- Your child was diagnosed between ages 8 and 13
- A hospital assessment says your child needs full-time inpatient care (per French health guidelines)
- This would be your child’s first time in the Eating Disorders unit at Robert Debré Hospital
- A parent/guardian can provide consent, and your child has social security coverage
- Your child must not have had a full-time hospital stay in that same ED unit before
