Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled cross-over trial is to explore the efficacy of auricular magnet in treating childhood anorexia. Participants will be allocated to two groups, labeled as Group A and Group B. Prior to the commencement of the trial, parents or guardians of the participants are required to fill out basic information for their children, including age, gender, height, weight, etc., and to complete the Preschooler's Eating Behavior Scale questionnaire. Over the initial 7-day period, participants of Group A receive auricular magnet therapy while participants of Group B undergo placebo magnetic auricular therapy. This is followed by a 14-day washout period to eliminate any lingering effects from the initial treatment. In the second phase, the treatments are swapped between the two groups.
