New treatment program for teens with eating disorders
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a program called MINERVA for teens aged 12-17 with an eating disorder who haven't gotten better with standard treatments. The goal is to see if this new approach helps when other treatments haven't worked.
