Study for kids and teens with bipolar or cyclothymic disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial is testing treatments for children and teens (ages 9–19) who have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder or cyclothymic disorder. It also requires regular participation from a caregiver so the team can track symptoms and response over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (the youth) must be between 9 and 19 years old
- You must have a diagnosis of bipolar disorder (type I, type II, or other) or cyclothymic disorder, confirmed by the study team during screening
- You must be able to read and communicate in English enough to participate with help
- A caregiver must be able and willing to join in regularly for assessments and treatment
- A caregiver must reliably read and communicate in English for consent and study visits (or translation services must be available as needed)

This study follows children and teens who may be at higher risk for bipolar disorder to develop a prediction model. It includes three groups: those with a parent who has bipolar disorder, those with atypical depression, and healthy volunteers.
This trial tests whether a structured therapy called dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) helps young people with bipolar disorder or at risk for it, especially with self-harm or risky behaviors. It may help by teaching coping skills and improving safety and emotional control.
This study tests a structured, “DBT-informed” care program for young people who either have bipolar disorder or are at family risk for it. It may help by offering closer, organized support aimed at preventing or reducing mood problems.
This study adds short “booster” sessions to Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for young people who already took part in a prior DBT study, including those with bipolar symptoms or strong family risk. It aims to see if extra DBT support helps mood and coping over time.
This study looks at how people with bipolar disorder experience clinical trials and what helps or feels difficult. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with bipolar disorder and can complete regular electronic check-ins and consent forms.
This study watches how a person’s mood and movement change over time, and how those patterns relate to bipolar disorder. It may help researchers better understand the condition in families and potentially improve future care.
