Losartan and Emotional Processing in Young People
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a single dose of losartan, a blood pressure pill, can change how young people process emotions. If you are a healthy 16- or 17-year-old who does not smoke, this study might help researchers understand new ways to support emotional wellbeing.
