NCT ID NCT07544966
First seen Apr 23, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study looks at how natural hormone changes during the menstrual cycle impact brain areas linked to mood and irritability in teenage girls at risk of suicide. Fifty girls aged 12-16 will take either a birth control pill to stabilize hormones or a placebo for 8 weeks each, while tracking their symptoms and undergoing brain scans. The goal is to understand why some girls become more irritable or depressed around their period, which could lead to better ways to prevent suicide.
