Summary

This pilot study tested whether adding weekly Hatha yoga or a body-focused therapy (FSB) to standard treatment can improve body image and eating behaviors in young women aged 16-25 with anorexia or bulimia. 54 participants were split into three groups: standard care alone, standard care plus yoga, or standard care plus FSB. The study measured changes in body dissatisfaction, eating behaviors, and related factors like self-compassion and body awareness.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Hatha yoga and a body-focused psychological intervention (FSB)
What this could lead to
If effective, these approaches could offer additional, low-cost ways to help young women with eating disorders feel better about their bodies and reduce unhealthy eating behaviors.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 54 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The interventions are added on top of standard care, making it hard to separate their specific effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Outpatients receiving treatment at the CPD DNA (Centro Provinciale per i Disturbi della Nutrizione e dell'Alimentazione) in Treviso; * Diagnosis of Anorexia Nervosa (AN) and/or Bulimia Nervosa (BN); * Body mass index (BMI) ≥ 17 kg/m²; * Clinically stable condition during the previous month (i.e., stable weight and no worsening of clinical symptomatology); * No planned hospital admissions or discharges within the 3 months following enrollment. Exclusion Criteria: * Sudden worsening of clinical condition; * Transition during the treatment phase to a higher level of care (i.e., partial hospitalization, residential treatment, or inpatient admission); * Irregular attendance (i.e., participation in less than 80% of the total scheduled sessions); * Discharge during the treatment phase; * Pregnancy: pregnant women will be excluded, as pregnancy is associated with physiological changes in weight and body shape and may exacerbate body dissatisfaction during the pre- and postpartum periods. Therefore, the exclusion of pregnant women is consistent with the study objectives; * Previous continuous yoga practice (i.e., for more than 6 months).
