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 an AI-based program that helps people with anxiety disorders practice coping skills and manage symptoms. It uses a computer or smartphone, so it can be done from home or wherever you are comfortable.
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 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.
