Refine my searchHow to check whether a study may fit
- Read the official inclusion and exclusion criteria, not only the short summary.
- Check location, age range, visit schedule, time commitment, and whether remote participation is mentioned.
- Confirm recruitment status on the official registry because public records can change.
- Ask the research team to confirm eligibility before making any decision.

- How many visits, calls, assessments, or samples are expected?
- What are the possible risks, discomforts, or reasons I may need to stop?

Official sources, rewritten for clarity
- HopeStage uses public clinical trial registry records, including ClinicalTrials.gov and other official registries when available.
- Study pages keep source links visible so users can verify the original record.
- Counts are generated from the current HopeStage Research dataset and may differ from live registry totals.
- Plain-language summaries simplify registry information without deciding eligibility or recommending treatment.
What this category includes
We use explicit diagnostic wording in registry records. General personality traits, personality questionnaires, and the abbreviation BPD alone do not establish a personality diagnosis. Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder belongs here; OCD remains a separate search category.
How to compare studies
Read the research question and original condition details, then check recruitment status, visit locations, age range, time commitment and the research team's contact information. A category match does not establish that you can participate.
Questions for the research team
Ask which diagnoses the study includes, whether your current care can continue, what assessments are involved, and how support and follow-up work. Only the research team can confirm eligibility. Discuss any changes to care with your usual care team.

Questions about personality disorder clinical trials
Are all these studies recruiting?
No. The catalogue also includes completed and other historical records. Select the recruiting filter and confirm the current status in the official registry and with the research team.
Why can a study appear in more than one condition?
A registry may explicitly list several target conditions. The same study can therefore appear in several categories, with one record and its original source links.
What can I find on this personality disorders page?

How many matching studies are listed?
HopeStage currently lists 550 matching studies on this topic, including 74 marked as recruiting in the source data.
Does a recruiting status mean I can join?
No. Recruiting status means the public record is marked as recruiting. The research team decides eligibility, and details should be checked in the official registry and with your care team.

No. HopeStage Research is not medical advice. It is a clearer starting point for public study information, source verification, and better questions.
