This study uses brain recordings (EEG and MRI) to understand how treatments help people with social anxiety. It also looks for signals that may predict who is most likely to benefit from treatment.
This study is testing a computer-based treatment for social anxiety disorder. It may help reduce anxiety in social situations through a structured online program, and it also includes brain imaging (MRI) to see how the treatment affects the brain.
This trial tests whether two different self-help programs (one guided by a coach and one by a clinician) can improve generalized social anxiety. You may be able to use an evidence-based approach at home, with the goal of reducing fear and avoidance in social situations.
This study looks at whether training can change how people with body appearance worries (including body dysmorphic disorder) perceive faces or the head. It may help researchers understand new ways to reduce distress related to these concerns.
This study tests a very short, new type of exposure therapy for social anxiety in teens and young adults. Participants will also have a brain scan (MRI) to see how the therapy affects the brain.
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.
