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 uses a special brain stimulation method called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) that is personalized to your brain activity, to help people whose anxiety has not improved with standard treatments. The goal is to see if this faster, tailored approach can reduce anxiety symptoms.
This study tests whether adding a gentle brain stimulation technique (transcranial alternating current stimulation) to mindfulness therapy can help reduce anxiety symptoms in people with generalized anxiety disorder. It aims to see if this combination is more effective than mindfulness alone.
This study tests a computer-based training program that aims to change how anxious teens interpret situations. It could help reduce anxiety by retraining the brain's automatic responses.
This trial tests a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called cTBS (continuous theta burst stimulation) on two brain areas linked to anxiety. The goal is to see if this treatment can reduce anxiety symptoms in people with generalized anxiety disorder.
This study tests a gentle brain stimulation method called High-Definition Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (HD-tES) to see if it can help reduce anxiety symptoms in people with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It uses small electrodes on the scalp to deliver mild electrical currents to areas of the brain involved in anxiety, without surgery or major side effects.
