This study looks at gut bacteria in women with anorexia nervosa compared to healthy women. It aims to understand how gut health relates to the condition and recovery.
This study looks at how changing the gut bacteria (microbiome) may affect people hospitalized for anorexia nervosa. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with a very low BMI and meet the study’s timing and health requirements.
This trial studies whether giving healthy gut bacteria (called microbiota) can help restore normal gut-brain function in adults with anorexia nervosa. It may offer a new way to support recovery when standard treatment alone hasn't been enough.
This trial tests whether a fecal microbiota transplant (a procedure that introduces healthy gut bacteria from a donor) can help teenagers with anorexia nervosa gain weight and improve their condition.
This trial tests whether taking fecal microbiome transplant (FMT) capsules can help people with anorexia nervosa. FMT uses processed stool from healthy donors to improve gut bacteria, which might support weight restoration and overall health.
This study uses brain scans to see how the brain reacts to food smells and tastes in women with long-lasting anorexia nervosa. It aims to understand the brain's role in anorexia, which could help improve treatments.
