NCT ID NCT06854328
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a device called Prism, which uses EEG to measure brain activity and trains users to calm a part of the brain linked to stress. Researchers want to see if it is safe and helpful for 45 adolescents aged 12-21 with PTSD, when used alongside their usual therapy. The main goal is to confirm safety, with a secondary focus on symptom improvement.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Prism device (EEG-based neurofeedback training)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a safe, non-drug tool to help adolescents with PTSD better manage their symptoms alongside standard therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with no control group, so results may not be conclusive. The device is already cleared for adults, but its effectiveness in teens is unproven.
