Individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN) pursue low-fat, low-calorie diets even when in a state of emaciation. These maladaptive food choices may involve fronto-limbic circuitry associated cognitive control, habit, and reward. We assessed whether high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) influenced food-related choice behavior patients severe, enduring (SE)-AN.Thirty-four females SE-AN completed Food Choice Task before...
Abstract Background Early intervention gives young people the best chance to recover from eating disorders (EDs). An important focus of early is shortening time between a person first developing symptoms and starting treatment (duration untreated disorder; DUED). Patient-related factors (e.g. poor mental health literacy help-seeking difficulties) are strongly associated with DUED. The aims our study co-design test feasibility FREED-Mobile (FREED-M), an online tool for early-stage EDs. This...
Abstract Background The First Episode Rapid Early Intervention for Eating Disorders (FREED) service has been shown to reduce the wait care and improve clinical outcomes in initial evaluations. These findings led national scaling of FREED England. To support this scaling, we conducted a mixed method evaluation perceptions experiences clinicians early phases scaling. Normalisation Process Theory (NPT) was used as conceptual lens understand if how becomes embedded routine practice. Methods...
Background: Despite the growing number of studies on use non-invasive brain stimulation in people with schizophrenia, there is limited research participant views such treatment methods. Aim: Explore experiences and perceptions transcranial direct current (tDCS). Methods: Twelve schizophrenia took part semi-structured interviews after having completed 5 sessions tDCS. Thematic analysis was used to identify codes themes. Results: Five themes were identified: (1) motivation for study enrolment;...
Abstract Background Antipsychotic drug-induced weight gain puts individuals with schizophrenia at increased cardiometabolic risk. As a potential intervention for this problem, we describe the theoretical background and protocol feasibility randomised controlled trial (RCT) of approach bias modification (ABM) training combined real versus sham (placebo) transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). The primary aim is to obtain information that will guide decision making development in...
