First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether naltrexone, a medication, can help reduce nonsuicidal self-injury (like cutting or hitting oneself) in people aged 16 and older. About 150 participants will receive either naltrexone or a placebo, and researchers will track how often self-harm occurs. The goal is to see if the drug can lower these behaviors when standard psychiatric treatment hasn't worked.
