Brain-based therapy for teens with generalized anxiety
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a neuro-based treatment to help adolescents with generalized anxiety disorder, including those newly diagnosed. You may be able to join if you meet age, diagnosis, and safety requirements, and if you have not already tried certain mindfulness programs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Ages 13 to 18 years (inclusive)
- Able to read and understand English
- Recently diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder (a current episode)
- If taking anxiety medicine, the dose has stayed the same for at least 8 weeks
- Parent/guardian consent is available to join the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies whether a specific form of talk therapy (CBT) changes brain activity in people with moderate anxiety. It may help your care team understand what works best and how brain “circuits” respond to treatment.
This study combines a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (alternating electrical currents applied to your scalp) with mindfulness therapy to treat generalized anxiety disorder. The goal is to see if this combination helps reduce anxiety symptoms more effectively than therapy alone.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation called cTBS to see if it can help reduce anxiety in people with generalized anxiety disorder. The treatment targets two brain areas linked to mood and worry.
This study tests whether a brain-training technique called neurofeedback can help people with certain anxiety disorders learn to change how they think about upsetting situations. Participants will do thinking exercises while an MRI machine measures their brain activity, which helps them see if they are using the right coping strategies.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called high-definition transcranial electrical stimulation (HD-tES) to see if it can help people with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). If you have GAD and have been stable on your current treatment, this study may be a good fit for you.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation (called cTBS, guided by MRI brain imaging) to treat generalized anxiety disorder. Researchers hope it may reduce anxiety symptoms when combined with standard anxiety treatment.
