What this trial studies
This study investigates the impact of body schema distortion on the remission and weight regain in patients with anorexia nervosa. It involves the use of various assessment tools, including the MOVE Tool and several questionnaires, to evaluate body image and its correlation with treatment outcomes. The research aims to clarify the mechanisms behind the persistence of anorexia nervosa and improve treatment strategies for affected individuals. By focusing on body image perception, the study seeks to enhance recovery rates and reduce relapse occurrences.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are women over 15 years old with a BMI less than 18.5 who are diagnosed with anorexia nervosa.
Not a fit: Patients with acute psychiatric comorbidities or those who are not fluent in French may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment approaches that enhance recovery and reduce the risk of relapse in patients with anorexia nervosa.
How similar studies have performed: While there is ongoing research in the field of anorexia nervosa, this specific approach focusing on body schema distortion is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested.
