First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC), an over-the-counter antioxidant, could improve learning and motor skills in children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Five children aged 8 to 16 took NAC or a placebo to see if it helped with movement and attention problems. The goal was to explore safety and early signs of benefit for these common NF1-related challenges.
