Youth suicide prevention program with brain imaging study
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a new program to help young people who have hurt themselves or tried to end their life. It uses brain scans (MRI) to understand how the program works and why it might help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how certain brain “inhibitory” signals work in teenagers and young adults who have depression and either suicide thoughts or past suicide behavior. The goal is to better understand suicide risk and what might help reduce it, using brain and brainwave testing.
This study uses brain scans to understand suicidal behavior in young people. It may help identify risk factors for suicide and improve prevention.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) for young people ages 15-25 who are having serious depression and suicidal thoughts. The goal is to see if this treatment can help reduce risk and improve mood.
This trial tests a learning-based therapy (called therapeutic evaluative conditioning) to reduce adolescents’ thoughts and behaviors related to self-injury during and after a psychiatric inpatient hospital stay. It may help some teens feel less pulled toward self-harm after leaving the hospital.
This study looks at suicide risk factors in young people with mood disorders (like depression or bipolar disorder) and tests ways to reduce those risks. It may help if you are between 18 and 25, have a mood disorder, and can undergo an MRI.
This study tests a therapy called EBPSI for teenagers who have attempted suicide within the past month. The goal is to see if the therapy can help lower the risk of future suicide attempts.
