Scientists scan teen brains to unlock secrets of Self-Harm

NCT ID NCT02947308

Summary

This study aimed to understand how the brain develops in young teenage girls who have a history of non-suicidal self-injury. Over three years, researchers followed 168 girls, tracking their behavior, stress responses, and brain structure using MRI scans. The goal was to gather knowledge to help build better future treatments, not to test a new therapy.
