Summary
This small pilot study is testing whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS, applied to the cerebellum, can help improve social behaviors and thinking flexibility in women and girls with anorexia nervosa. The study involves 15 participants aged 15-30 who will receive the stimulation while playing computer games and having brain scans. The goal is to see if this approach can support other therapies, not to cure the condition.
