Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if dTMS targeting the ACC can be used to rapidly and effectively treat AN. A randomized controlled study design is adopted, in which patients with AN are divided into the CBT+dTMS treatment group and CBT+pseudostimulation group by 1:1 randomization, followed by a 6-week intervention and a half-year follow-up to clarify whether CBT combined with dTMS is superior to single CBT treatment for AN.
Detailed Description:
The investigators propose hypothesis that CBT improves AN symptoms by modulating the "AN-ACC pathology network", and that high-frequency stimulation targeting the ACC by dTMS can synergize "AN-ACC pathology network" and enhance the efficacy of CBT. In order to verify this hypothesis, a randomized controlled study design is adopted, in which patients with AN are divided into the CBT+dTMS treatment group and CBT+pseudostimulation group by 1:1 randomization, followed by 6-week intervention and a half-year follow up, to clarify the near-term and long-term efficacy and safety of the dTMS treatment. Patients in both groups undergo fMRI examinations, complete delay discounting task (DDT) and body image task before and after each treatment session. Symptoms, psychometrics and side effect questionnaires are followed up at baseline, week 6 (at the end of treatment), and weeks 4, 8, 12 and 24 (after completion of treatment). This study will provide a theoretical and practical basis for the innovative combined intervention method in patients with AN, and to verify the "AN-ACC pathological network" pathomechanism of AN at multiple levels.
