Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation method called tACS can improve impulse control and reduce self-injury in 60 adolescents aged 12-18 with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). Participants receive either real or sham stimulation twice daily for 7 days. Researchers measure changes in self-injury frequency, impulsivity scores, and eye-tracking responses to NSSI-related cues. The goal is to see if this safe, drug-free approach can help teens manage urges and improve well-being.
