Emotion Regulation Study for Depression and Anxiety
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study explores how people with depression or anxiety disorders regulate their emotions, compared to people without these conditions. Understanding emotion regulation may help develop better treatments in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests two types of brain training—mindfulness and neurofeedback—to see if they can help teenagers and young adults who get stuck in repetitive negative thinking. Participants will do brain exercises while inside an MRI scanner and track their moods on a phone app.
This trial tests a precision approach delivered through a smartphone to better track and target how you manage strong emotions. It may help if you have ongoing difficulty regulating emotions day to day.
This study looks at how the brain regulates mood and body signals in young adults ages 18-27. It includes people who have had depression in the past but are now well, as well as healthy volunteers with no psychiatric history.
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain training technique called neurofeedback can help people with major depression improve how they manage emotions. You participate by doing computer tasks while your brain activity is measured and shown back to you, teaching you to regulate your emotions better.
This study tests whether a computerized training program can help people with mood, anxiety, or trauma-related disorders who struggle with repetitive negative thinking. If you are an outpatient and can have an MRI, this may be a good fit.
This study uses brain scans and short real-life mood/stress check-ins to understand how stress and perceived control work in teens with depression. It may help researchers better pinpoint brain patterns linked to depression and how teens experience control during stressful moments.
