NCT ID NCT05913544
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a 10-week therapy program called SINTYA for young adults aged 16-25 with borderline personality disorder (BPD). The program combines group and individual sessions to reduce impulsivity and related symptoms like emotional distress, self-harm, and suicide risk. Researchers aim to see if this short, tailored approach works better than standard care for this age group.
