Summary
This study tested whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC), an over-the-counter antioxidant, could improve learning, behavior, and motor skills in children aged 8-16 with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Only 5 children participated, and the main goal was to measure changes in motor function and ADHD symptoms. The study was small and exploratory, aiming to see if NAC is safe and worth studying further.
