First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how growth hormone treatment affects the quality of life of children with short stature once they reach their final adult height. Researchers are giving questionnaires to 36 young people who were treated with growth hormone and comparing their answers to ones they gave when starting treatment. The goal is to see if the therapy improves emotional and social well-being over the long term.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could confirm that growth hormone therapy improves emotional and social well-being in children with short stature, not just their height.
What could go wrong
