Filter by:This repository will consist of home monitoring data, videos, and images of patients with feeding difficulties for asynchronous remote patient monitoring of manually entered data sent by parents to the healthcare team using the CHAMP App for children with feeding difficulties. This information will be collected under a research protocol and this repository is for future research applications.
Single site evidence-based implementation of a mHealth application for remote patient monitoring for pediatric patients ready to wean from tube feedings (TFs). The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the CHAMP® ("CHAMP App") software platforms' expansion into TF weaning through Children's Mercy (CM) Kansas City's interdisciplinary feeding team (IDC). The investigators will use the current standard of care rates of tube weaning success, time to weaning, and healthcare team communication to evaluate the change after the implementation of the evidence-based CHAMP App. For equipoise of access, the study team will provide access in this pre-post design for parent/legally authorized representative (LAR)- child family access and use the CHAMP App software platform as soon as possible.
The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of a new treatment for children and adolescents with eating disorders characterized by dietary restriction and/or weight loss or failure to gain expected weight. The treatment, which is called Family-Based Treatment for Primary Care (or FBT-PC for short), is based on Family-Based Treatment, the gold standard outpatient eating disorder treatment for children and adolescents.
The feeding process is based on a mutual relationship and interaction, as it takes place with the active participation of the child and the parent. Feeding problems are among the most common behavioral problems in early childhood. Inappropriate eating habits can cause growth retardation, unhealthy food preferences, and obesity. Parent-child interaction during feeding is particularly important in developing healthy feeding behavior. The aim of this study is to evaluate the interaction between mother and child during feeding, by using the Feeding Scale in Turkish children aged 6-36 months. A cross sectional, observational study will be conducted to explore mother-child relationship during feeding period by using Chatoor Feeding Scale.
The goal of the study is to increase the flexible behavior toward food via inhibition training among restrained eaters. The expectation is that the train will increase food consumption, decrease food-related anxiety and affect implicit attitudes towards palatable foods
This prospective one-arm study aims to examine short and long-term changes in dysfunctional eating among individuals who signed up for an 8-week, group based, low threshold, mindfulness-based intervention. The study is an extension of a quality assurance project which was provided by a nation-wide self-help organization for people with self-identified eating problems. Eating disorder symptoms and the proposed predictors (self-kindness, self-judgment and mindfulness) were registered online at 12 measurement time points. In the current study we will invite the same participants to complete the same measures four years after the intervention.
The study aims to examine effectiveness of the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) on sensory, digestive, and eating behaviors in children currently receiving therapy.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of oral naltrexone tablets in pediatric and adolescent eating disorders, in particular anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, as compared to placebo. Study participants will be patients in a partial hospitalization program or intensive outpatient program for eating disorder.
This study aims to improve eating disorders symptomatology, mental, psychosocial and physical health, quality of life, strength and body composition of adolescents with eating disorders by the development of a dog-assisted therapy program. The current research will involve thirty-two patients distributed equally in a control and an experimental group. The intervention group will participate once a week in a dog-assisted therapy of seven weeks. Moreover, all the included patients will participate in an assessment session before and after the intervention to compare the effects of the dog-assisted therapy within and between groups in anxiety, depression, character, behavior, eating disorder evolution, health-related quality of life, treatment satisfaction, strength and body composition. Based on previous studies on different populations, it is expected that, compared to the control group, the experimental group may experience a potential reduction in anxiety, depression and symptoms, while improving quality of life, strength, body composition and behavior.
Women with the eating disorder bulimia nervosa (BN) have been found to have a higher risk of unplanned pregnancies than healthy women, and experience greater miscarriage, premature birth, birth complications, and postpartum depression. Other studies have found that women with eating disorders seem to find motivation to refrain from the eating disordered behavior for the sake of the fetus, but that it is highly different whether this gives sustained or only a temporary remission. Eating disorders are rarely detected in the primary health care service, nor during pregnancy or during follow-up in fertility clinics. Meeting a health care provider in the pregnancy care service who does not know about the eating disorder or who does not understand the disease well enough, can also make the management and experience of pregnancy and weight gain extra difficult. The aim of this study is to increase the knowledge on how women with a history of eating disorder experience their bodily changes, and how they experience the health service in pregnancy care and post-partum period.
