Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS): Clinical Characterization and Prospective Course

PANDAS Clinical Trial

Official title: Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS): Clinical Characterization and Prospective Course

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study is a brief (3 month) longitudinal study following children between the ages of 4-16 years old who have been diagnosed with Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS). Parents and children (who are at a 2nd grade reading level) will complete questionnaires online or in person weekly for 3 months. Additionally, parents will track their child's symptoms 3 times/week using a mobile application for 3 months. The investigators are hoping to begin to characterize the longitudinal trajectory of neuropsychiatric symptoms in children with PANS. Additionally, the study will seek to identify baseline demographic and clinical characteristics (e.g., gender, recent onset versus chronic course, GAS versus other triggers) that predict severity of baseline neuropsychiatric symptoms and predict change in symptoms over time.
