NCT02263404

Brief Summary

Anorexia Nervosa (AN) has the highest mortality of any psychiatric disorder and a paucity of effective treatments. AN becomes intractable in around 20%, resulting in huge individual and healthcare costs. The study will help patients with severe AN using DBS. Individuals with severe intractable AN will be eligible to take part in the study.
