Summary
This study tests a new brief support program for people who have nerve damage from using nitrous oxide (laughing gas). The program provides information and practical strategies to help manage emotions, cope with stress, and reduce use. Ten participants at a London hospital will receive the program alongside their usual care and give feedback to help improve it for a larger future study.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a brief manualised psychosocial intervention comprising information provision, psychoeducation, goal setting, coping strategies, self-management strategies, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques (including mindfulness and cognitive reframing), delivered over up to four weekly sessions
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could offer a practical way to help young people reduce nitrous oxide use and improve their mental health and quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early-stage study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program may not be effective or engaging for all users.
