Can online parenting coaching tame behavior issues after child brain injury?
NCT ID NCT06193382
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a stepped-care version of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) for children aged 2 to 7 who have a mild to moderate traumatic brain injury and behavior problems. The program teaches parents positive parenting skills through online modules and weekly therapist check-ins over 5 weeks. The goal is to see if it reduces child behavior issues and parent stress. Only 20 families will take part, and there is no comparison group, so results will be preliminary.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) – a behavioral parenting program delivered online and via phone check-ins
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a practical, low-cost way to help parents manage challenging behaviors after a child's brain injury, reducing stress for the whole family.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study (20 children) with no control group, so results may not be generalizable. The intervention is behavioral, not medical, so it won't treat the brain injury itself.
