Nutritional Supplements in Patients with Anorexia Nervosa
NCT ID: NCT05184738 Phase: NA Status: COMPLETED Enrollment: 42 Completion: 2022-05-22
Conditions
Anorexia Nervosa
Interventions
Experimental Treatment, Oligomeric nutritional formula, Control Treatment
Summary
Anorexia nervosa causes gastroparesis, constipation, and can lead to elevated liver enzymes. It is often necessary to supplement the diet of patients with nutritional formulas. The ingestion of a peptide formula, with partially hydrolyzed protein and rich in medium chain triglycerides, could favor its digestion and absorption, improving its tolerance and acceptance by the patient, compared to a polymeric formula.
Primary Outcome
Compare the digestive tolerance of an oligomeric nutritional supplement with respect to a polymeric nutritional supplement in a group of patients diagnosed with anorexia nervosa under follow-up by the Nutrition Unit.
