This study compares two types of hypnosis (one that includes Islamic themes and one that follows a standard approach) to see which works better for anxiety and depression. It is designed for Muslim adults who are feeling stressed but do not have a formal mental health diagnosis.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation (called cTBS, guided by MRI brain imaging) to treat generalized anxiety disorder. Researchers hope it may reduce anxiety symptoms when combined with standard anxiety treatment.
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 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.
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 trial tests if adding cannabidiol (CBD) to a learning-based approach helps manage generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). It involves brain scans and taking CBD daily.
