Effect of cognitive bias modification training on body image dissatisfaction in adolescents with anorexia nervosa or depression—a pilot feasibility randomized controlled crossover study
These findings confirm the feasibility and effectiveness of the 2-AFC CBM paradigm in adolescent inpatients transdiagnostically with further larger randomized controlled effectiveness trials required. The study suggests including normal-weight patients with anorexia nervosa only and not using confirmatory feedback as a control condition, but as an orientation and confirmation of a healthy weight limit.
