About this study

Researchers are testing if cerebellar tDCS can help with restricted behaviors, social cognition, and cognitive flexibility in women with anorexia nervosa. The trial will measure changes in brain activity using fMRI imaging and assess the effects of anodal and cathodal stimulation on social behavior and eating disorder symptoms.

Based on ClinicalTrials.gov records.

What participants do

  • 1.Use anodal trans cranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)
  • 2.Use cathodal trans cranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)
