Sleep your way to recovery? digital program hopes to boost eating disorder treatment
NCT ID NCT07518368
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests a self-guided digital program called SOAR that shares science-backed sleep tips with people starting treatment for an eating disorder. The program includes videos on sleep hygiene and setting a regular sleep schedule. Researchers want to see if the program is easy to use and helpful, not whether it works as a treatment itself. About 154 adults will be randomly assigned to use SOAR or continue with their usual care.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a simple online sleep guide helps people in eating disorder treatment improve their sleep and overall recovery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study focused on feasibility, not effectiveness. It may not lead to clear health benefits, and results may not apply to everyone.
