Neurofeedback Enhanced Cognitive Reappraisal Training - Phase 4

Обзор

This study seeks to understand emotion regulation in those with young adults with anxiety using real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging neurofeedback, a tool that allows individuals to control brain activity. The goal of this project is to understand how receiving feedback about one's own brain activity relates to emotion regulation ability. This work will help the study team understand the brain areas involved in emotion regulation and could lay the groundwork to test if psychotherapy outcomes can be enhanced using neurofeedback. The study hypotheses include: * Participants receiving veritable-Neurofeedback (NF) will show a greater activation increases in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) compared to sham-NF * Participants receiving veritable-NF will show greater cognitive reappraisal (CR) ability compared to those receiving sham-NF * PFC activation will positively correlate with CR ability

Вмешательства

• Другое Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with Veritable-NF
  Participants will complete 4 visits (some can be done virtually). The baseline visit will include a clinical interview. Eligible participants will complete a series of questionnaires and a practice session at visit 2, and may do a mock scan if the visit is in person. Visit 3 will take place within 5 days of the practice session. Participants will have an fMRI with real neurofeedback and answer a series of questions pertaining to the scan. 2 weeks after visit 3, participants will revisit the ques
• Другое fMRI with Sham-NF
  Participants will complete 4 visits (some can be done virtually). The baseline visit will include a clinical interview. Eligible participants will complete a series of questionnaires and a practice session at visit 2, and may do a mock scan if the visit is in person. Visit 3 will take place within 5 days of the practice session. Participants will have an fMRI with neurofeedback that looks similar to real neurofeedback but does not reflect their true brain signal. Afterwards, they will answer a s

Критерии участия

Критерии включения

• Primary diagnosis (primary source of distress and/or interference) of generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder or illness anxiety disorder based on structured interview. Comorbid phobic disorders allowed, but these cannot be the primary source of interference or distress due to the lowered chances of encountering anxiety-provoking stimuli during the study period
• Score of 2 or more on at least 1 question from GAD/CROSS-AD composite
• Medically and physically able to consent
• Not regularly taking any medication, prescription or non-prescription, with psychotropic effects other than:

• Buspirone, or antidepressant (e.g., selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI)) with stable dosage for past 4 weeks
• The same oral hormonal contraceptive for at least 3 months
• For females, not currently pregnant or actively trying to become pregnant
• Ability to tolerate small, enclosed spaces without anxiety
• No metals, implants or metallic substances within or on the body that might cause adverse effects to the subject in a strong magnetic field, or interfere with image acquisition (per protocol)
• Size compatible with scanner gantry (per protocol)

Критерии исключения

• Current diagnosis of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, or Bipolar Disorder
• Current substance abuse or dependence (past 6 months)
• Active suicidality with plan or intent
• Current psychosis
• History of serious neurological illness or current medical condition that could compromise brain function, such as liver failure
• History of closed head injury, e.g., loss of consciousness greater (>) approximately (\~) 5 minutes, hospitalization, neurological sequela
