Can a Digital-Plus-In-Person therapy curb teen Self-Injury?
NCT ID NCT07755774
First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot trial tests a new treatment called blended ERITA for adolescents aged 12-17 who have self-injured in the past three months and have low daily functioning. The therapy combines face-to-face sessions with a digital platform, teaching teens skills to manage emotions instead of self-harm, and includes a separate course for parents. The study aims to see if this approach is practical and acceptable within intensive outpatient mental health services, preparing for a larger trial.
