Mindfulness therapy tested to help teens overcome extreme food fears
NCT ID NCT06110806
Summary
This study tested a new family therapy program for teenagers with Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), a condition where people severely limit what they eat due to fear or disinterest. The therapy used mindfulness and gentle exposure to help teens become more comfortable with different foods. Researchers wanted to see if the program was practical for families and if it helped teens eat a wider variety of foods.
