Brain zaps for anorexia: tiny study hopes to rewire social thinking
NCT ID NCT06286930
First seen Feb 05, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This small pilot study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS, applied to the cerebellum, can improve social behaviors and mental flexibility in 15 women and girls aged 15–30 with anorexia nervosa. Participants will receive the stimulation while playing social games inside an MRI scanner to see if it changes brain activity and reduces rigid thinking. The goal is to see if this approach can be a helpful add-on to standard therapy.
