Recruiting studies
- NCT06462196Recruiting
Study of Depression, Bipolar Disorder & Suicide Risk
This study looks at how depression, bipolar disorder, and suicide risk naturally change over time. It aims to better understand these conditions so doctors can improve treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05928247Recruiting
Behavior program for frequent challenging behaviors in children
This trial tests a structured (manualized) assessment and treatment approach for children who have very frequent challenging behaviors despite prior help. It aims to reduce these behaviors and improve daily functioning by targeting what keeps the behavior going.
Somerset, New JerseyAges 3–17 - NCT05537610Recruiting
Test a behavior strategy for frequent self-injury
This study looks at how to reduce serious problem behaviors (including self-injury) in children who have it many times per day even after previous treatment. It may help if your child’s behavior is driven by social attention or other positive effects and they can stay on the same supports, school plan, and medicines during the study.
Somerset, New JerseyAges 3–17 - NCT05398250Enrolling by invitation
Comparing brief suicide prevention tools for autistic youth
This study compares two short suicide-prevention approaches for autistic youth. The goal is to see which approach works better and is easier for routine care to use.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 12–99 - NCT04045600Recruiting
Refining communication training for kids with behavior challenges
This study tests an improved version of functional communication training for children ages 3 to 17 whose destructive behavior (like hitting or yelling) happens often and is fueled by social attention. It aims to help children learn better ways to get attention instead of using hard-to-manage behaviors.
Somerset, New JerseyAges 3–17 - NCT07554755Recruiting
Transcranial Stimulation for Teen Depression with Self-Injury
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (TIS) for teenagers aged 12–22 with depression who injure themselves without wanting to die. The goal is to reduce depression symptoms and self-injury urges.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 12–22 - NCT05925101Recruiting
Studying ways to reduce frequent behavior spikes in children
This study looks at basic and applied methods to understand “extinction bursts,” times when a hard-to-control behavior may briefly get worse before it improves. It may help families and clinicians choose safer, more effective behavior supports for children with very frequent problem behaviors.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for self-injury?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 31 recruiting self-injury studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a self-injury trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a self-injury trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
