Study & Design
- Study Type
- interventional
- Study Design
- Not specified
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Primary outcomes are heartbeat detection performance in the synchronisation test and HEPs in AN patients at the beginning of their inpatient treatment compared to HEPs and heartbeat detection performance in control subjects.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary outcomes are the heartbeat detection performance in the synchronicity test and the HEPs in AN patients at the beginning vs. end of their inpatient treatment. The correlations between HEPs, heartbeat detection performance in the Schandry task, and the synchronicity test as well as self-reported interoception according to the MAIA questionnaire also represent further secondary outcomes.
