Filter by:Current therapies for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) have limited effectiveness. This study measures the efficacy of two different approaches to reducing anxiety and stress. One approach uses education, nutrition, exercise, and time management training, and another uses mindfulness meditation and yoga, which is taught as part of the Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) course, an 8-week manualized mindfulness intervention. We hypothesize that the two approaches will reduce anxiety in individuals with GAD in different ways. We will measure changes in stress hormones associated with these changes.
Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental disorders in children, affecting approximately 1 out of every 10 children and adolescents. Symptoms of anxiety disorders may include excessive fear/anxiety/worry, somatic complaints such as headaches and muscle aches, and impaired social and family relationships. Some children with anxiety also experience sleep problems, however, little is known about the sleep patterns of anxious children. The purpose of the study, conducted at Children's National Medical Center, is to examine the sleep characteristics of children with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) compared to a control group of children without GAD to see how sleep behaviors and daytime behaviors are related.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether acceptance-based behavior therapy for GAD results in greater symptom reduction and increased quality of life than applied relaxation.
The investigators propose to evaluate the effectiveness of duloxetine in treating subjects with both Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). The investigators hypothesize that duloxetine as a single therapeutic agent will effectively target pain and other core symptoms of IBS as well as GAD in this patient population with both conditions.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of 6 weeks of endurance or strength training and a wait list comparison condition on symptoms of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).

This study will test the feasibility and safety of adding interpersonal and emotional processing techniques to standard cognitive behavioral therapy for generalized anxiety disorder.
This study will examine the effects of cognitive behavioral therapy on brain function in people with anxiety disorders.
The research study proposed is designed to examine the outcomes of a cognitive behavioral guided self-care intervention with older adults diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and recruited from a primary care setting. It is hypothesized that the cognitive behavioral guided self-care intervention will produce greater declines in worry and anxiety than enhanced usual care.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PD 0332334 compared to placebo in the treatment of Generalized Anxiety Disorder in an adult population
