Respiratory Training in the Treatment of Transdiagnostic Pathological Anxiety (NCT05427708)

Respiratory Training in the Treatment of Transdiagnostic Pathological Anxiety: A Randomized Clinical Trial

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic โš™๏ธ Medical Device Protocol Sponsor: University of Texas at Austin

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Purpose of the Research: The primary aim of the proposed study is to conduct a randomized parallel-group 2-arm clinical trial investigating capnometry-guided respiratory intervention (CGRI) for pathological anxiety. CGRI aims to raise end-tidal CO2 levels thereby lowering hyperventilation-induced respiratory alkalosis and its associated fear-eliciting somatic reactions. Psycho-education about anxiety and its effects (PsyEd) will serve as a credible control comparator.
