Teens with PTSD: sleep and emotion study
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how sleep affects the way teens with PTSD process emotions. It involves MRI scans and overnight sleep visits to understand the brain better. Participation may help researchers develop better treatments for PTSD in young people.
