NCT ID NCT06902649
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a stepped care approach for children aged 8-16 who struggle with anger, defiance, or aggression. All families start with a brief online parenting program. If more help is needed, they are randomly assigned to additional options, including virtual reality-assisted therapy for the child or parent. The goal is to see if this step-by-step model reduces behavior problems and improves anger control.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide an effective, step-by-step treatment plan for children with anger or behavioral problems, reducing symptoms without needing lifelong medication.
