Can a 6-Session therapy ease paranoia in adolescents?
NCT ID NCT07350954
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a brief therapy called TRUST is acceptable and practical for teenagers aged 16-18 who experience paranoia. The therapy uses values and mental imagery to help change distressing beliefs. Only 8 participants will be enrolled, and the main goal is to see if teens find it helpful and complete the sessions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
TRUST (a brief psychological intervention combining values-based work and mental imagery techniques)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a practical, short-term therapy option for adolescents with paranoia in mental health services.
What could go wrong
This is a very small feasibility study with only 8 participants, so results may not apply widely. The therapy is still experimental and may not reduce paranoia significantly.
