Brain Stimulation Plus Mindfulness for Anxiety Disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tACS) can help people who have both generalized anxiety and long-term sleep problems. It aims to see if this treatment can reduce anxiety and improve sleep.
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 a type of brain stimulation called cTBS to see if it can help reduce anxiety in people with generalized anxiety disorder. The treatment targets two brain areas linked to mood and worry.
