Neural Connectivity During Therapy for Adolescent PTSD
This study is looking at how the brain changes during therapy for adolescents (ages 12-17) with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Researchers want to understand how two types of therapy, TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and TAU (treatment as usual), affect brain networks. They hope this will lead to better, more personalized treatments for young people with PTSD. You might be able to join if you are 12-17 years old, have experienced trauma, and have specific PTSD symptoms. The study will measure brain activity at the beginning, at 6 weeks, and at 12 weeks to see how therapy impacts these brain networks. The study aims to enroll 180 participants, but its current status is unclear.
