NCT ID NCT07239362
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a version of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) that has been adapted to fit local cultures can help adults aged 18-45 with borderline personality disorder better manage their emotions and reduce self-harm. The therapy is being studied in a low- and middle-income country to see if it works as well as it does in wealthier settings. About 220 participants will be randomly assigned to receive the adapted therapy or standard care, and researchers will track changes in emotional control, depression, anxiety, and daily functioning.
