Structural Brain Volumetry Changes in Eating Disorders.
Sponsor: Assiut University
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the relationship between structural brain changes and psychiatric comorbidities in individuals diagnosed with eating disorders (EDs). The main question it aims to answer is: How are structural brain volumetric changes associated with psychiatric comorbidities in patients with eating disorders? Participants with a clinical diagnosis of an eating disorder will undergo brain MRI scans for volumetric analysis and structured psychiatric assessments to identify comorbid conditions. Data will be collected cross-sectionally from patients receiving routine clinical care, with the aim of identifying neurobiological and psychiatric patterns that could inform targeted treatment and prevention strategies.
