Summary

This trial aims to investigate how a specific therapy called Step-Up PCIT can help children between the ages of 2 and 7 who have experienced a traumatic brain injury. The goal is to understand how

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 2-7 who have experienced a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and are showing disruptive behaviors. Specific eligibility criteria were not provided, so additional details such as health status or previous treatments may apply.
What is being tested?
The study is testing Step-Up PCIT, a therapy focused on improving parent-child interactions to help manage behavioral issues in young children with TBI. The 'stepped-care' approach likely means the treatment intensity increases based on need.
What are the potential side effects?
Since PCIT is a form of behavioral therapy involving coaching parents in managing their child's behavior, it does not involve medication; therefore, traditional side effects are not expected. However, stress or emotional discomfort could occur.
