An interventional study of Emotion regulation group in Emotional Dysfunction and Borderline Personality Disorder, sponsored by Camille Nemitz Piguet. Status unknown at 1 site in Switzerland. Open to participants aged 16 Years to 20 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-02-21.
Sponsored by Camille Nemitz Piguet · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
A clinical trial to evaluate the effects of an eight-week emotion regulation group intervention designed for adolescents (16-20 years old) on the levels of emotion dysregulation both self-reported by the adolescent and reported by his/her parent/caregiver (pre-post comparison). The long-term effect will also be measured at a third-time point, three months after the end of the intervention. The intervention will consist of 90-minute sessions once a week for 8 weeks, in groups of eight participants. The intervention proposed for this study is an adaptation from different interventions already in use for adolescents in clinical practice, such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT) and Mindfulness-Based Intervention (MBI).
278 studies on the registry are indexed under Borderline Personality Disorder; 70 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 56 is below the median of 70 across 221 interventional studies indexed under Borderline Personality Disorder.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
The American Psychiatric Association’s manual of mental health diagnoses. DSM-5 (2013, revised as DSM-5-TR in 2022) replaced DSM-IV, and some studies still name the older edition. “Meets DSM criteria for …” means diagnosed by that edition’s diagnostic criteria, usually by a clinician in an interview.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Started Jan 2022 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Sep 2023, 20 months after the start.
Of 105 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Borderline Personality Disorder, half reached primary completion within 35 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 24 and three quarters within 54. This study's planned 20 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 107 studies reached it within 35 months; a quarter within 24 and three quarters within 54.
