Brain stimulation with mindfulness for generalized anxiety disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a gentle brain stimulation technique (transcranial alternating current stimulation) to mindfulness therapy can help reduce anxiety symptoms in people with generalized anxiety disorder. It aims to see if this combination is more effective than mindfulness alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder as your main condition.
- You are right-handed.

This study tests a gentle brain stimulation method called High-Definition Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (HD-tES) to see if it can help reduce anxiety symptoms in people with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It uses small electrodes on the scalp to deliver mild electrical currents to areas of the brain involved in anxiety, without surgery or major side effects.
This study uses a type of non-invasive brain stimulation guided by MRI to treat generalized anxiety disorder. It aims to see if this faster treatment can help reduce anxiety symptoms.
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 study tests whether acupuncture can help reduce anxiety symptoms in people with generalized anxiety disorder. If you are between 18 and 60 and have been diagnosed with GAD, you may be able to participate.
This study tests a device that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain, which may help reduce symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). The treatment is non-invasive and does not require surgery.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called continuous theta burst stimulation) to see if it can reduce symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder. The treatment uses magnetic pulses to target areas of the brain involved in anxiety, and it may help if standard treatments haven't worked well.
