Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to: If successful, this could help doctors identify children at risk of PTSD relapse and offer early support.
What could go wrong: This is a very small, completed study with only 6 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is exploratory and does not test a treatment.
