Mechanisms Underlying Late-Life Prolonged Grief Disorder (NCT07738133)
Probing Brain Network Mechanisms Underlying Late-Life Prolonged Grief Disorder
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
After losing a loved one, most successfully navigate acute grief and adapt to the loss within about 1 year, but in about 10%, prolonged grief disorder (PGD) ensues. This study is anticipated to provide novel evidence regarding the neurobiological mechanisms of PGD in older adults. The biological alterations identified here could provide targets to elucidate how currently available therapies work and inform novel mechanism-based interventions for treating late-life PGD.
