Brain Imaging Study in Teen Girls: Exploring Mental Health Differences
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This research study uses a special brain-imaging machine (fMRI) to take pictures of how teen girls' brains work. Researchers want to understand brain differences between girls with borderline personality traits, girls with ADHD, and girls without these conditions. The study will help doctors better understand these conditions in teenagers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a female between ages 13–17 (or your teen daughter is)
- You do not have claustrophobia (fear of tight spaces) or are willing to try the brain scanner
- You have no history of serious head injuries or chronic brain/neurological diseases
- You are not pregnant and can confirm this before the scan
- You have no metal implants or other medical devices that would prevent safe MRI scanning

This study uses brain imaging (MRI) to compare brain patterns in teens with borderline personality disorder and those with PTSD, as well as teens without these mental health diagnoses. It may help researchers understand what brain differences go along with these conditions and how they relate to each other.
This study uses a mobile app and brain scans to understand day-to-day mood changes in people with depression or bipolar disorder. It may help doctors learn how to better predict and treat these conditions.
This study uses EEG (a safe, non-invasive test that measures brain waves) to look at how people with borderline personality disorder (BPD) imagine things in their minds, compared with people who do not have BPD. Participating may help researchers understand the brain patterns behind mental imagery, which could lead to better treatments.
This study tests a new brain-training technique that may help people with borderline personality disorder manage their emotions better. You will do mental exercises while an MRI scans your brain, and the results will show whether this training can reduce emotional distress.
This study uses brain MRI scans and mental tasks to better understand mood and anxiety problems. It may help researchers develop improved MRI methods for studying depression and healthy brain function.
This study looks at how the brain works in teenagers with anorexia, using brain scans. The goal is to understand changes in the brain linked to eating disorders, which could help improve treatment.
