NCT ID NCT06311474
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at behavior problems in 101 children aged 3 to 6 with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Families completed assessments online, and those with elevated behavior issues were offered a parent-training therapy (PCIT) over the internet. The goal was to help parents manage challenging behaviors and learn more about how common these problems are in young children with TSC.
