First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study follows 25 adolescent girls with anorexia nervosa over 12 months of psychiatric treatment. Researchers will measure sleep patterns, inflammation, hormones, and quality of life at the start and after one year. The goal is to see how these factors change with treatment and whether they relate to recovery. No new drug or therapy is being tested; it is purely observational.

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could reveal how sleep and body markers change with treatment, pointing toward better ways to monitor recovery in anorexia nervosa.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early observational study with only 25 participants, so findings may not apply to everyone. It measures changes but does not test a new treatment.
