The present study aims to investigate the effect of the first COVID-19 lockdown on a range of FED symptoms in children and adolescents: (a) already receiving treatment in our specialist service for FED when the pandemic hit, and (b) prospectively evaluated in our service from October 2020 to July 2021.\n<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Out of sixty-one eligible patients with a broad spectrum of FED invited, forty-five young patients (aged 11\u201318) consented to participate and were included.

Younger patients (11\u201313\u00a0years) showed a greater improvement of symptoms compared to older ones (14\u201318\u00a0years of age).
