CBT's effects on brain and body in anorexia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies how cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) affects brain activity, stress responses, and attention in people with restrictive-type anorexia nervosa. It may help you understand if this type of therapy changes how your brain works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a 20-session cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) designed specifically for adults with anorexia nervosa. You will attend regular therapy sessions and complete questionnaires to see if this treatment helps improve your eating habits and overall well-being.
This study tests repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-surgical brain treatment, for anorexia nervosa in people ages 14–24. It may help reduce eating-disorder symptoms in youth who meet the study’s mental health and safety requirements.
This trial studies the underlying brain and behavior mechanisms of anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa. It may help researchers understand what drives these conditions and what could be targeted in future treatments.
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, called intermittent theta burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), applied to the right parietal lobe can help people with anorexia nervosa who have not improved with outpatient treatment.
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.
This study looks at how individual factors affect the success of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for social anxiety or body dysmorphic disorder. You'll have therapy sessions and brain scans to see what works best for people like you.
