Attention Bias Modification Treatment for Anxious Youth (ABMT)
調査の概要
状態
詳細な説明
The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not ABMT computer-based interventions can be used successfully to help reduce anxiety disorder symptoms in children ages 7 to 17. ABMT is different from most other treatments for anxiety because it is not medication or talk therapy. ABMT is a computerized attention training program designed to change how we direct our attention. The purpose of ABMT is to set in place attentional patterns that do not lead to excessive anxiety. Research has shown that it may be highly effective in reducing anxiety. The Intervention will be composed of your child engaging in 6 brief weekly ABMT sessions. The sessions seem like a repetitive computer game.
This study is appropriate for children who may have symptoms of an anxiety disorder, like Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Separation anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Specific Phobia, or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder." Children who appear eligible for the study may attend a diagnostic evaluation and assessment if they meet study criteria.
If a child is eligible for the study, he or she will be randomly assigned to either get an "active" form of the computer program or a "placebo" or inactive form of the computer program. The child will come to six weekly appointments at our clinic that are quite brief, about a half hour. Then the child will have an evaluation after the last of the six appointments to see if the computer intervention was helpful in reducing his or her anxiety. We'd then wait a month and then have a final evaluation to see if the child's anxiety has changed over that period of time.
