Summary
This study tested whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC), an over-the-counter antioxidant, could improve learning and motor skills in children aged 8-16 with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Only 5 children participated, and the main focus was on motor function and ADHD symptoms. The study was small and early-stage, so results are limited.
