Summary

This study looks at how multifamily therapy—where several families meet together—helps teenagers with anorexia nervosa. Researchers will interview teens, parents, and siblings who took part in the therapy at a Paris hospital. The goal is to understand how the therapy affects eating symptoms, family relationships, and group dynamics, so that the program can be improved.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
multifamily therapy (a behavioral intervention where several families meet together in group sessions)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help therapists design better multifamily therapy programs for teens with anorexia.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage exploratory study that only looks at one hospital's program. It won't prove whether the therapy works—just how it might work.

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study is therefore being offered to all families who have taken part in multifamily therapy for anorexia nervosa, i.e. the adolescent patients being treated for anorexia nervosa, their parents and siblings. These patients and their families come from the clinical population followed in our institution for anorexia nervosa: the Maison des Adolescents of the Cochin Hospital - Maison de Solenn (APHP, Paris). Participation in a multi-family group is complementary to the usual care provided in the department (psychiatric, pediatric and dietetic follow-up) and does not replace the usual individual care.

Ages

6 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.
