Summary

The purpose of this randomized study is to examine the comparative efficacy of yoga, cognitive behavioral therapy, and stress education, a previously employed control condition, for patients with Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

Detailed description

We are currently conducting a treatment study to reduce stress and anxiety in people with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). This study will not use a medication, but instead will involve weekly stress reduction classes that use different strategies to reduce anxiety. The study involves having a formal psychiatric interview, filling out questionnaires, ECGs, saliva samples, a urine test for drugs of abuse, and study visits over 12 weeks. Each study visit will take a few hours. Qualified participants will be compensated for time and travel.
