Ten patients with anorexia nervosa were treated with intravenous hyperalimentation (IVH) and/or psychotherapy. The five patients were treated with both IVH and psychotheraoy. The five patients were treated with both IVH and psychotherapy. Their body weight rose from 66±3%(mean ±SE) to 78±6% of their ideal weight during hospitalization, and then to 91±5% during ambulatory observation for a period of 6 to 36months. Another group of 5 patients were treated only with psychotherapy. Their body weight increased 69±3% to 73±1% of their ideal weight during hospitalization, and then to 78±1% during during the observation period at the out-patient department during a period of 6 to 48 months. The former group gained more weight than the latter group during hospitalization (P<0.025) and during ambulatory observation (P<.025), respectively. These results suggest that IVH is one effective remedy for anorexia nervosa and that good results can be expected from IVH and psychotherapy used in combination.
