NCT ID NCT06085092
First seen Oct 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a technique called 'open weighing'—where patients see their weight during treatment—can reduce anxiety about weight gain in teens and young adults with eating disorders like anorexia. About 70 participants will be randomly assigned to open weighing or blind weighing (not seeing the number). Researchers will measure changes in eating disorder symptoms, fear of food, and body image concerns to see which approach works better.
