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.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 35 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with restrictive-type anorexia nervosa (you mainly limit how much you eat).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 study looks at how the brain responds to food and how that affects eating habits. It aims to understand how people make food choices, which could help improve treatments for eating disorders.
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 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 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.
