PINS Stimulator System to Treat Severe Anorexia Nervosa

October 13, 2016 updated by: Beijing Pins Medical Co., Ltd
Anorexia Nervosa (AN) has the highest mortality of any psychiatric disorder and a paucity of effective treatments. AN becomes intractable in around 20%, resulting in huge individual and healthcare costs. The study will help patients with severe AN using DBS. Individuals with severe intractable AN will be eligible to take part in the study.
