Early puberty and brain disorders: a new look at the link
NCT ID NCT06720844
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 300 children with central precocious puberty (early puberty) to see how many also have a neurodevelopmental syndrome or condition. Researchers will compare the diagnosis and development of children with early puberty alone versus those with an associated brain-related disorder. The goal is to better understand the connection, not to test a new treatment.
