Brief Summary

This study offers to determine whether adolescent patients with a restrictive eating disorder have variations in their sensoriality compared to a control group.

Conditions

Eating Disorders in Adolescence; Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder

Keywords

Restrictive eating disorder; anorexia nervosa; Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder; sensory modulation disorder; sensory modulation symptoms; sensory over responsivity; sensory integration

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Average Sensory Processing Scale Inventory (SPSI) scores between the two groups

  Comparison of average Sensory Processing Scale Inventory (SPSI) scores between the two groups This questionnaire focuses on sensoriality. It allows the definition of over or under-reactive sensory profiles. It is made of two lists (list #1 : 73 items ; list #2 : 29 items). The SPSI questionnaire is in English. For this reason, a group of experts from La Maison de Solenn met to translate it into French being as faithful as possible to the original questionnaire. Each checklist has its own score, the result is the sum of the points obtained (one point for YES, zero points for NO) (6). Two groups will be formed: a group with eating disorders and a control group. The questionnaire will be answered only once and will be proposed to the participant at the end of a consultation at the Maison de Solenn for his usual follow-up or during a hospitalization (full time hospitalization or in day hospital).

Study Arms (2)

Restrictive eating disorder group

Adolescents between 12 and 18 y.o. Restrictive eating disorders diagnosis (Anorexia Nervosa or ARFID) answering DSM-5 criteria

Other: Sensory Processing Scale Inventory (SPSI); Other: Autism Spectrum Screening Quotient (ASSQ); Other: GAD 7; Other: Conners abridged; Other: EAT 26

Control group

Adolescents between 12 and 18 y.o. No eating disorders

Other: Sensory Processing Scale Inventory (SPSI); Other: Autism Spectrum Screening Quotient (ASSQ); Other: GAD 7; Other: Conners abridged

Interventions

Sensory Processing Scale Inventory (SPSI) OTHER

The Sensory Processing Scale Inventory (SPSI) is the main questionnaire. It allows to define over and under sensitive profiles. It's a self-administrated questionnaire

Control group; Restrictive eating disorder group

Autism Spectrum Screening Quotient (ASSQ) OTHER

The ASSQ allows to detect autism spectrum disorders (ASD). This quotient is proposed to the group because the investigators know that ASD are often correlated with sensory integration disorders. It's answered by the participant's parents.

Control group; Restrictive eating disorder group

GAD 7 OTHER

The GAD7 questionnaire allows to detect anxiety disorder. This questionnaire is proposed to the group because the investigators know that anxiety disorders are often correlated with sensory integration disorders. It's a self-administrated questionnaire.

Control group; Restrictive eating disorder group

Conners abridged OTHER

The Conners abridged questionnaire allows to detect attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This questionnaire is proposed to the group because the investigators know that ADHD are often correlated with sensory integration disorders. The questionnaire is answered by the participant's parents.

Control group; Restrictive eating disorder group

EAT 26 OTHER

The EAT 26 questionnaire allows to detect anorexia nervosa. It is proposed to the patient with an eating disorder to establish the level of severity of their disease. It's a self-administrated questionnaire.

Restrictive eating disorder group

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 12 Years - 18 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The participants were all recruited at the Maison de Solenn, Cochin - Paris, a service specialized in the treatment of eating disorders for adolescents. The participants in the control group are patients followed in this center for another reason than an eating disorder. The participants were recruited in consultation, in day hospital or in complete hospitalization.

You may qualify if:

• Adolescent between 12 to 18 years old.
• Non-opposition of the adolescent and his or her legal guardians collected before the start of the study.
• Patient group: Diagnosis of restrictive eating disorders (Anorexia Nervosa typical or atypical, ARFID) meeting DSM-5 criteria.
• Control group: absence of eating disorders.

You may not qualify if:

• Eating disorders secondary to another psychiatric pathology.
• Precarious health status with somatic and/or psychiatric instability that does not allow to answer the questionnaire.
• Language barrier.
• Opposition of the adolescent and/or his/her legal representatives obtained before the start of the study
