Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Several lines of evidence, albeit from hypothesis generation studies, suggest that artificial lighting may have a positive effect on well-being, mental health and affective symptoms in ED. The rationale of this study is to investigate the effects of artificial lighting on affective symptoms and cores symptoms of ED in inpatients undergoing weight restoration/treatment for ED.
Study design: Single-blind, controlled, pilot intervention study with circadian light (CL) comparing two CL regimens effects on mood symptoms.
Planned number of subjects: 16 patients with a ICD-10 diagnosis of Anorexia Nervosa, that completes exposure to at least three weeks of the two different CL regimens (L1 and L2) in any order.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
If an effect is indicated, the study will provide information on how to improve light exposure to ED patients in psychiatric treatment units. In addition, the outcomes may help identify a better system for measurement and adjustment of the specific light variables of colour temperature and light intensity.
