Abstract
:

This double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluates the effectiveness of oral naltrexone in adolescents and young adults with eating disorders (EDs) characterized by purging with or without binge-eating behaviors. We hypothesize that participants receiving oral naltrexone will demonstrate greater improvements in body mass index in underweight participants and self-reported ED symptomatology compared to placebo.
