Social feedback and risk-taking in teens who self-harm
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a brain scan (MRI) to understand how teens who self-harm respond to social feedback. It aims to learn more about why some teens take risks that may be harmful.

This study looks at how strong emotions affect decision-making in teenagers who sometimes hurt themselves without wanting to die (called NSSI). If you join, you'll have an MRI brain scan and do some computer tasks to help us understand this link.
This study uses brain activity during a task to understand how teens who self-harm react to pain and empathy. It may help researchers learn what brain differences are linked with non-suicidal self-injury and guide better support for teens.
This study looks at how emotion control works in teens who have self-harmed (NSSI) in everyday situations, using brain and behavior measurements. You might help researchers understand what triggers and maintains self-harm, which could guide future supports.
This study looks at self-harm and thoughts/behaviors related to safety in teenagers who are considered at higher risk. It may help researchers better understand what supports are needed for teens who self-harm without wanting to die.
This study tests if a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (like wearing a special cap) can help teenagers who hurt themselves on purpose. It compares two types of stimulation to see which one reduces the urge to self-injure.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation (called aiTBS) that uses magnetic pulses to help reduce self-harm and suicidal thoughts in teens with depression. It's for teens who are in the hospital and have been hurting themselves on purpose.
