Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of the Canary Breathing System (CBS) in treating the symptoms of panic disorder.

Detailed description

Panic disorder (PD) is associated with hyperventilation. The efficacy of a brief respiratory feedback program for PD has been previously established. The aim of the present study was to expand these results by testing a similar program with more clinically representative patients and settings. The intervention is delivered via home use following initial training by a clinician and provides remote monitoring of client adherence and progress by the clinician. Outcomes were assessed post-treatment and at 2- and 12-month follow-up.
