Online social skills training for sex chromosome disorders

Plain-English translation of NCT07718997 on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗ · Source last updated July 2026 · Translation generated August 2026 · How we translate trials

Phase 1 — Testing in a small group (usually 20–80 people) to find a safe dose and watch for side effects.

What is this trial?

This trial is testing a new online program called Social Management Training (SMT) designed to help people with sex chromosome disorders—conditions where someone has a different number of sex chromosomes than typical. The program teaches skills to help with social interactions, emotions, and thinking abilities through 10 group sessions delivered online. Researchers want to see if this treatment is feasible, acceptable to participants, and helpful for improving mental health and social functioning.

Many people with sex chromosome disorders struggle with social interactions and mental health. An earlier pilot study showed promise for this type of training in one specific condition, so researchers want to test whether this treatment works for a wider group of people with different sex chromosome disorders and to make it accessible to people across Norway through an online format.

Do you qualify?

You likely qualify if…

you are between 16 and 69 years old
you have been diagnosed with a sex chromosome disorder that has been confirmed by genetic testing
you speak Norwegian or another Scandinavian language well enough to participate in group discussions and answer questionnaires
you have access to a computer or smartphone with internet connection (the study can lend you a device if needed)

You likely don't qualify if…

you do not speak a Scandinavian language fluently enough to participate in group discussions
you do not have access to a device with internet (though the researchers can provide one)
you are experiencing severe mental health crisis or acute suicidality—though this will be assessed during screening and you would be referred to appropriate care instead

What participation looks like

You would join a group of up to 30 participants for 10 online sessions focused on social skills, emotional regulation, and thinking strategies tailored to sex chromosome disorders. Before and after the training, you would complete surveys and assessments at multiple time points to help researchers understand if the program is helpful. The entire study runs through 2028, but your active participation in the training sessions would take place over several weeks.
