This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment to see if it can help people with anorexia nervosa. The treatment targets brain circuits involved in the disorder, which may reduce symptoms and improve well-being.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for young people with anorexia nervosa. rTMS uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate brain areas that may help reduce eating disorder symptoms.
This trial uses a type of magnetic brain stimulation to see if it can help people with anorexia nervosa who have not improved with standard outpatient therapy. It aims to change brain activity in a way that may reduce symptoms.
This trial tests whether targeted brain stimulation (a non-surgery treatment) can help symptoms of anorexia nervosa. It may be an option if you can safely take part and meet the trial’s mental health and testing requirements.
This study tests if repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can change how women with anorexia nervosa make food choices. You would receive rTMS while staying in a hospital eating disorders unit.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) can help cognitive-behavioral therapy work better for people with anorexia nervosa. It aims to improve outcomes by targeting brain areas linked to thinking and behavior.
