Group therapy for emotion control in teens with Prader-Willi syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a group therapy program designed to help teenagers with Prader-Willi syndrome (a genetic condition) learn better emotional control and regulation skills. Your teen and family would attend weekly group sessions to practice tools for managing emotions like anger or frustration.
