Biologically informed treatments for AN, such as brain stimulation, are lacking, in part due to the unclear nature of the neurobiological contributions to the illness. However, recent research has suggested a specific neurobiological target for the treatment of AN, namely stimulation of the inferior parietal lobe (IPL). The aim of this study was to stimulate-noninvasively-the left IPL in individuals with AN using high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS). Twenty participants will be randomized to receive 10 daily sessions of HD-tDCS or sham HD-tDCS (placebo). Assessments will be carried out at baseline and end point, as well as 4- and 12-week follow-ups. This pilot investigation will primarily determine the feasibility and acceptability of this intervention. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/21622 | DOI: | 10.1002/eat.23146 | ORCID: | 0000-0003-1009-6619 0000-0001-8190-894X |
