A Single-Arm Pilot Trial for Mitigating Relapse of Severe Problem Behavior
NCT06732219 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this study is to improve how we teach self-control and communication skills to children and adolescents with challenging behaviors. Researchers aim to find ways to make behavior-change treatments more effective and long-lasting, even when the environment or reinforcement schedules change. The main questions this study will answer are: Can innovative techniques help children maintain learned skills, such as asking for attention or waiting for rewards, when faced with new people, places, or situations? How do cognitive and behavioral factors, like memory, timing, and decision-making, affect the success of treatments? Participants in this study will: Complete assessments to identify preferred activities and understand the causes of challenging behaviors. Learn communication skills to replace challenging behaviors, such as tantrums or crying, with more appropriate actions like asking for attention. Participate in activities designed to understand their individual responses to different types of rewards and delays.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06732219
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06732219 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 10 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Auburn University, which has 105 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Challenging Behavior appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 5 interventions — of which Functional Communication Training is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06732219 reports 2 study locations spanning 2 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Alabama, Maryland. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
