Secretin to help teens with anorexia during refeeding
Part of Digestive system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies whether secretin can help the body during “refeeding,” the careful process of restarting nutrition in people hospitalized for restrictive-type anorexia nervosa. It compares participants with very high vs very low urine output during refeeding to see if responses differ.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study studies how a standardized meal affects digestion using special monitoring in children and young adults with stomach or gut symptom problems (and compares them to healthy controls). It may help doctors understand what causes gut symptoms and guide better treatments.
This study looks at how gut bacteria change in women with anorexia nervosa during refeeding. It aims to find new insights that could improve treatment.
This study tests whether a painless device that stimulates the vagus nerve can help teens who are underweight and working on refeeding (a structured nutrition plan). It aims to see if this treatment improves outcomes while you’re gaining weight.
This study tests how the body regulates weight by having participants drink only a special liquid meal for two days. It may help researchers understand weight changes in people with low or high body weight.
This trial tests whether a high-protein diet or standard protein diet is better for critically ill patients who are at risk for refeeding syndrome (dangerous shifts in fluids and minerals when starting nutrition after starvation). The goal is to see which type of nutrition helps recovery.
