Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of lower calorie refeeding versus higher calorie refeeding in hospitalized adolescents with anorexia nervosa.
Decreased bone strength is a common and serious medical problem present in many women with anorexia nervosa. Women with decreased bone strength are more likely to suffer broken bones than women with normal bone strength. This study will investigate whether the use of transdermal estrogen can improve bone mineral density (BMD) and bone microarchitecture in women with anorexia nervosa anorexia nervosa when used for 6 months.
This study is aimed to determine clinical characteristics of patients with anorexia nervosa and outcome of treatment at Sirirraj Hospital.
The aim of research is to test in a randomized clinical trial with active sessions, the efficacy of cognitive remediation therapy in children anorexia nervosa compared to a controlled group. The investigators want to confirm the efficacy of cognitive remediation treatment in children's flexibility problems.
The investigators are examining what types of psychotherapy are most helpful for patients as they undergo weight restoration treatment for anorexia nervosa. In this study, patients who are receiving care on our inpatient unit will also receive 4 weeks of one two types of psychotherapy: Supportive Psychotherapy or Regulation Emotions and Changing Habits.
The current etiological pathological model of anorexia nervosa is poly-factorial involving individual genetic and psychological factors, in close interaction with environmental, family and socio-cultural factors. Among these factors, this study focuses on the central coherence process (cognitive ability to integrate complex information into a comprehensive meaning), in the active phase of the disease. Therefore, patients followed in the addiction service of the Nantes University Hospital will perform neuropsychological tests assessing executive functions involved in the process of central coherence. Impairment of central coherence process could act as a maintenance factor of the disease, particularly in connection with body dysmorphic disorder. The therapeutic perspectives acting on the central coherence process like cognitive remediation deserve to deepen knowledge on the cognitive profile of patients with anorexia nervosa.
The main purpose in the treatment of patients with advanced cancer and cancer anorexia cachexia syndrome (CACS) is to prolong life and to improve quality of life (QoL) as far as possible. QoL in patients with CACS is directly related to loss of appetite and loss of weight. Cannabis pills are given in Israel to advanced cancer patients with various symptoms in order to improve their QoL. There is data on safety/toxicity of cannabis, and these pills are given under the regulations of the Israel Ministry of Health. The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of Cannabics capsules on improving loss of appetite and loss of weight.
This prospective pilot study will compare adolescents with restrictive anorexia nervosa who participated for 3 months at olfactory workshops, patients who did not, and healthy patients.The groups will be evaluated before the workshops and after three months, with the wanting score after olfactory stimuli and with serum oxytocin level.
Background. Anorexia nervosa (AN) still carries the highest fatality rate of any psychiatric disease, and less than half of the patients recover, completely refractory to any treatment. The etiology remains unknown and evidence for treatment is lacking. The intestinal microbiota and its microbiome provide humans with additional gene products which may be regarded as an organ, which contributes to multiple host metabolic pathways. Recent advances in microbial DNA sequencing technologies have resulted in metagenomic DNA analysis of whole ecosystems such as the human gut. Altered intestinal microbiota has been related to obesity and insulin resistance. Hypothetically, the intestinal microbiota could play a role in the generation and/or maintenance of the emaciation in AN. Aim. The aim of the present study is to investigate whether gut microbiota is altered in patients with AN. Subjects and methods. A cross sectional study of the gut microbiome profiles in 75 clinical, psychometric and biochemical well characterized treatment seeking females with AN. The microbiome profiles are compared with 75 age- matched healthy Danish control subjects. Perspectives. Clarifying whether the intestinal flora is implicated in the susceptibility to or maintenance of AN may provide the basis for development of new highly required treatments.
