NCT ID NCT07239778
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new group program called PEDAL for people with bipolar disorder. It combines standard group education with digital tools like an app-based mood diary and online resources to help manage rapid mood swings. The trial will involve 120 participants across five sites in Norway. Researchers want to see if PEDAL reduces mood instability better than standard group education alone.
