神经性厌食症(AN)是一个主要的公共卫生问题。营养康复计划是存在的，但可能是昂贵和旷日持久的，患者很难接受这些要求很高的疗法。本研究的目的是采用随机安慰剂对照设计，确定催产素鼻腔喷雾剂对参与营养康复计划的AN患者改善预后的疗效。如果被证明是有效的，这将具有国家和国际意义。

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a major public health problem. Nutritional rehabilitation programs exist but can be costly and protracted, and patients struggle to engage with these demanding therapies. The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of oxytocin nasal spray to improve outcomes in patients with AN participating in a nutritional rehabilitation program using a randomized placebo-controlled design. If shown to be effective, this will have national and international significance.
