Phone Check-Ins tested to keep anorexia patients on track after hospital
NCT ID NCT04102475
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether regular phone calls after a first hospital stay for anorexia nervosa could help patients maintain a healthy weight and avoid relapse. Researchers planned to compare phone-based support to standard follow-up care in people over 15. The study was terminated early and only enrolled 19 participants, so results are limited.
