This trial tests if a combination of non-invasive brain stimulation (tDCS) and virtual reality meditation can reduce anxiety in people with Generalized Anxiety Disorder or related conditions. It aims to find a new, non-medication way to help manage symptoms.
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation method called high-precision transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can reduce anxiety. It is designed for people with moderate to severe anxiety who are not currently on other treatments.
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 trial tests a new type of brain stimulation that uses gentle electrical currents to help people with depression or anxiety who haven't fully responded to medication. It may offer a new treatment option without the side effects of drugs.
This study tests a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment called continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) for adults with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). It aims to see if this treatment can reduce anxiety symptoms and possibly offer a new option for people who have not responded well to other treatments.
