Exposure Therapy Study In Adults With Eating Disorders (NCT06171711)
Exposure Therapy for Anorexia Nervosa Pilot Trial
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The current proposal will evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of Exposure Therapy for anorexia nervosa (AN) spectrum disorders (Exp-AN), an innovative treatment rooted in principles of inhibitory learning. Exp-AN will target anxiety about both eating and weight gain by combining in vivo (i.e., in real life) and imaginal (i.e., mental) exposure in novel ways (e.g., eating a feared food while listening to a recording describing fears about weight gain).
