Trial Outcomes & Findings for Shifting Perspectives: Enhancing Outcomes in Anorexia Nervosa With CRT (NCT NCT03928028)

NCT ID: NCT03928028

Last Updated: 2023-01-20

Results Overview

The Delis Kaplan Executive Functioning System (D-KEFS) is a standardized assessment of executive functioning normed for ages 8-89 years of age. Raw scores are transformed to scaled scores: the mean is 10 with a standard deviation of 3. Higher scores indicate better performance on the test. Specific sub-tests were chosen to assess inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility. The hypothesis is that Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) will increase flexibility in participants. The D-KEFS was administered at baseline (T1), after 4 weeks (T2), approximately 9 weeks (T3), approximately 17 weeks (T4), and end of treatment (T5). Trail Making Test assesses flexibility in thinking. We use Condition 4 (Number-Letter Switching) to assess flexibility.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months of treatment

Raw scores are transformed to scaled scores: the mean is 10 with a standard deviation of 3. Higher scores indicate better performance on the test.

Timeframe: 6 months of treatment

Population: All available data is reported for mothers, fathers and adolescents separately. Some data is missing due to COVID-19 impacts on the ability to administer in-person assessment.

The Delis Kaplan Executive Functioning System (D-KEFS) is a standardized assessment of executive functioning normed for ages 8-89 years of age. Raw scores are transformed to scaled scores: the mean is 10 with a standard deviation of 3. Higher scores indicate better performance on the test. Specific sub-tests were chosen to assess inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility. The hypothesis is that Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) will increase flexibility in participants. The D-KEFS was administered at baseline (T1), after 4 weeks (T2), approximately 9 weeks (T3), approximately 17 weeks (T4), and end of treatment (T5). The D-KEFS Verbal Fluency assesses the ability to shift between concepts. The Switching Correct score is used to assess flexibility.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months of treatment

Population: All available data is reported for mothers, fathers and adolescents separately. Some data is missing due to COVID-19 impacts on the ability to administer in-person assessment.

The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Functioning (BRIEF) is an ecologically valid clinical tool for measuring executive functioning across several domains in youth 5 to 18 years of age; the self-report version (BRIEF-2) was administered to adolescents. It has a comparable adult self-report version (BRIEF-A) normed for ages 18-90. Both versions of the BRIEF are normed by age and sex on a T-scale (mean = 50, SD = 10), and scores are considered clinically elevated if they are 65 or higher. Both have a number of clinical scales and indices. Lower scores indicate greater strengths in each area. The hypothesis is that Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) will increase flexibility in participants, thus, we expect a reduction in scores for those in the CRT conditions. The BRIEF was administered at baseline (T1), after 4 weeks (T2), approximately 9 weeks (T3), approximately 17 weeks (T4), and end of treatment (T5). The BRIEF Shift assesses behavioral flexibility.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months of treatment

Population: As parents did not hit a-priori milestones, we only calculated the number (count) of sessions needed for adolescents to have measurable improvement in cognitive flexibility.

Number of sessions necessary in order to change cognitive flexibility. This is the number of sessions needed for change to occur in cognitive flexibility. It is only calculated for the participants who received CRT and who had a significant change in flexibility above what was observed in FBT.
