NCT ID NCT05803707
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested whether a home-based, supervised exercise program is acceptable and safe for 36 women with anorexia nervosa. Participants were asked to complete 8 weekly exercise sessions at home. The study measured how many people joined and finished the program, their satisfaction, and changes in weight, self-esteem, and quality of life. It is a small, early-stage study focused on feasibility, not on proving the program works.
