4 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
To determine the accuracy of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with point of care (POC) fingerstick glucose monitoring and venous blood glucose in patients with eating disorders, specifically anorexia nervosa, restricting subtype (AN-R); avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID); and anorexia nervosa, binge/purge subtype (AN-BP).
This study is designed to understand responsiveness to reward in adolescents with restricting-type anorexia nervosa compared with non-clinical controls, and how it is affected by potential-threat perception.
The goals of this project are to 1) develop training opportunities for master's-level and pre-doctoral psychology students in evidence-based assessment and treatment of adolescent EDs; 2) to provide the healthcare workforce, including licensed health professionals such as primary care physicians and behavioral health interventionists, with knowledge and competence to recognize early symptoms of and intervention strategies for EDs; and 3) to test the efficacy of delivering two evidence-based treatments for adolescent eating disorders, Family Based Treatment (FBT) and Enhanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT-E), in the home-based setting.
The investigators are conducting a randomized controlled trial using an adaptive design for adolescents (ages 12-18) with anorexia nervosa to compare standard Family Based Treatment (FBT) to adaptive FBT with an Intensive Parental Coaching (IPC) component. If participants do not reach expected milestones by session 4 of treatment, participants may be randomized to receive additional IPC or continue treatment as usual with regular FBT.
