NCT ID NCT06870006

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

Summary

This study looks at how certain psychiatric drugs may change heart rhythms in children and teens. Researchers will track 100 young patients with eating disorders, mood disorders, or psychosis who are starting a new psychiatric medication. They will perform ECGs at the start and after 3, 6, and 12 months to see how often dangerous heart rhythm changes occur. The goal is to create better guidelines for when to repeat heart checks during treatment.
