Trial Information
The Neurobiology of Appetite Regulation in Anorexia Nervosa
Are you a healthy woman between 18-25 years old?
You may be eligible for a research study investigating using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to investigate the relationship between hormones, brain activity and appetite. MRI is a non-invasive way to view brain activity without using X-rays.
The study includes one screening visit to confirm eligibility and one morning visit which will include a meal, questionnaires, blood draws and two MRI scans. Visits occur at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, MA.
Eligible participants will receive $200 for completing the study. Local transportation and parking costs will be reimbursed.
In order to be eligible, participants must not have taken oral contraceptives (birth control pills) or other medication containing hormones and must be able and willing to participate in MRI scans.
We are also recruiting women who have ever had anorexia nervosa for this study.
For more information or to find out if you’re eligible to participate, please contact Justine Blum at 617-643-2609 or jiblum@partners.org.
