NAC for emotional dysregulation in children
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC) can help children aged 6 to 12 with emotional dysregulation (severe mood swings, anxiety, or attention problems). It's a non-drug supplement that may improve brain function. The trial also includes a control group of typically developing kids for comparison.
