Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: Conclusion Even if there have been useful researches on the efficacy of pharmacotherapy in the treatment of BN, there are still many unsolved issues regarding the optimal management of other EDs. Future directions for pharmacological treatment researches in EDs should include randomized controlled trials with different medications, inpatient versus outpatient trials and the assessment of medication effects for relapse prevention in recovered patients.
