Near-infrared brain monitoring and training for anxiety
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a painless light-based brain monitor and “neurofeedback” training can help track and reduce symptoms in people with generalized anxiety disorder. If you are eligible, you would receive sessions during the study and be able to communicate in Chinese.

This trial tests a brain training technique (neurofeedback) to help people with coronary artery disease and anxiety. It aims to improve heart rate control by targeting a specific brain area.
This trial tests a brain-training technique called neurofeedback, which uses a video game controlled by your brain activity to help your heart and nervous system work better. It is for people with both coronary artery disease and anxiety who want to improve their heart health and manage anxiety without medication.
This study tests whether an artificial-intelligence computer or smartphone program can help treat anxiety disorders. You would use this AI tool as part of your treatment and complete assessments to see if it helps reduce anxiety symptoms.
This study tests whether an AI system can correctly diagnose anxiety disorders. Healthy volunteers and people with anxiety will use the AI tool to see how accurate it is.
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 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.
